The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.

Guess what trail I’m on? Trick question. ITS ALL OF THEM. Welcome to the forest! Did not appreciate the rocky half mile-ish downhill. How do you even race that Critter count: 1 🐌 3 🐕 plus one super adorable 3 mo black lab puppy #runningpunks #trailrunning

This is so important to do before it’s too late to re-register. I still don’t trust the USPS and will be using a ballot box.

The problem is with me making sod all, when @protect.earth is having a rough one I have no paycheck to dip into. I used to throw in a few grand when it was struggling but I’ve got about £1.26 to my name. Restocking summer losses is going to cost a lot. We need your help. protect.earth/donate

This tree went to the moon. I like to think it picked up secret knowledge from outer space since trees are much more receptive to those sort of things. I listened for a while but time works differently for trees and I learned nothing

This is a Douglas Fir. It went to the moon. Now it lives on the grounds of the Washington State Capital

Had a nice wander in the Grand Ridge park. Meant to do a recce of the trail race series route but no parking so hiked some of the back end. Nice moderate trail once you’re on it. 480ft elevation over 3 miles. Critter count: 4 slugs, 2 ex-slugs. Story in alt #trailrunning

Developer of the area wanted to build. Government entity said yeah nah mate. How about you set aside 4 acres for a park for every 1 you build out? Developer said- deal!!

There is now a 1100 acre park in the backyard of a packed subdivision at the base of Tiger Mountain. Pretty sweet.

Every fall there’s a trail race here from 5 miles to 50k. I’m hoping to hit at least the Half. I’m not a fan of loops - the marathon is 2 and the 50k is 2 plus the 5 mile run.

This is Edgar. He’s a distant cousin of the Ents of yore (and lore).

I’m not sure why he’s so sad maybe because he realizes his arms are too skinny.

I decided to leave him alone.

If I’d been past here any later I’m fairly certain I’d be stuck up there with the rest of whatever those things trapped.

I’m not even sure what this is. Silkworm nest maybe? I’m not sure we have spiders in the PNW that build these kind of webs

I’m ok with not knowing.

A year ago I was recovering from hip injury and my long run was about 4 tough miles. Grateful that I could enjoy a meander around the waterfronts for an 8 mile run (did catch the bus up hill home. I’m not mad) Stick around for the alt text if you want #running #runningpunks

It’s a nice day to own a houseboat. I guess technically this is on Portage Bay, the bit that connects Lake Union and Lake Washington. Lots of houseboats are permanently parked here.

You can rent kayaks and canoes and paddle around them so maybe it’s not so nice. You’d also really need to find the shrieking of seagulls relaxing. If you do, you’re a very special person and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

This is the Montlake Cut facing west. It’s the narrow bit between Portage Bay and Union Bay, which all lie between Lake Union and Lake Washington.

One of my favorite things to do is rent a kayak and go as fast as I can through this. If there are any motor boats the wake gets kind of intense. I mean, it’s like four minutes of thrills so I may be overselling it a bit but it’s very pretty.

If you zoom in you’ll see the graffiti on the walls. It’s actually legit - the University of Washington is just over there (waves across the water) and I guess the art department needs more money for supplies or something.

Oh and there’s the Montlake bridge. It’s a historic double-leaf bascule bridge built in 1925. Yes I know. Your local pub is older.

More of the Montlake Cut. And some trees. It was starting to get hot out so I was stalling…
No boats today.

Seattle has two floating bridges which are actually very cool, especially if you’re an engineer.

They connect Seattle to the ‘Eastside’ which just means the east side of Lake Washington but folks over there want to feel included.

This is not a floating bridge.

However, a few years ago they built this really pretty lid over the end of one that puts you on the ped/bike path and it’s really lovely. That’s what this is - nice path with landscaping that needs a good week of rain

Fun fact, when they rebuilt this bridge, part of the opening ceremonies included a 10k out and back race across the bridge. It was crowded and I really wanted to punch this woman who plowed between me and my friend like what?! No PRs happening here, lady.

Anyhow bet you didn’t know going in to this alt that we’d end up here but yes. The hwy is underneath. Wow. You really do get a lot of words to work with.

Went for a trail run at the Big Park for the first time in ages. Kept waiting for that one tough hill… apparently I’m in better shape now lol Sadly the studio I work at ran out of funding so I’m out of work :( More time for midweek trail runs I guess.
