BARN PARK: Sunday, more sunny skies came our way, despite a forecast for rain. Wanting to seize the sunshine, we took another walk along another new-to-us trail.
For a few months now, we've been driving by a small-looking roadside park with a covered area that looks like a barn. Sunday, we finally visited.
I'll let Annabelle tell you a bit more about our Sunday stroll. ...
Codiga Park is a partially restored wetland on the Duwamish River in Tukwila. The park used to be a dairy farm owned by the Codiga family, but has since been returned to its former wetland state. The park is home to many types of birds including Eagles and Great Blue Herons, one of which we saw during our visit. The park has a small mud flat area right next to the river which would be ideal for picnicking or fishing, being directly in the sunlight although a little squishy.The mudflats Annabelle described are right across from a big BECU office building, just west of Interstate 5.
After we wound our way through Codiga Park, we continued westward, toward the Tukwila Community Center and another waterside trail. Annabelle continues. ...
When we took a walk in this area, we came across a U.S. armed forces memorial that was dedicated to both active and retired veterans. The memorial was a small pentagon-shaped pillar with a wrought iron “fence” around one side. There were gorgeous plants along the sides, including what looked to be a short, beautiful, bright yellow-green tree.
VALENTINE-Y: I just love these nerdy NASA Valentines from NASA's OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission
