Thursday/ sunny and mild 🌤️

Today was another very mild winter’s day here in the city (57 °F/ 14°C) with clouds and sun.
I walked down to the Melrose Avenue overlook to see if the 12’s flag is up on the Space Needle yet.
(It is not. I believe it will go up tomorrow, Friday).

Look for the sunlight reflecting off the glass panels of the observation deck at the top of the Needle. That’s Harrison Street between the buildings to the right of the Space Needle, running all the way out to Climate Pledge Arena, home of the Kraken (ice hockey team).
At the very bottom right of the picture the spires of Saint Spiridon Orthodox Cathedral church are visible.
Those are the Olympic mountains in the distance, with the twin peaks called The Brothers.
There should be more snow on the mountains at this point – a lot more snow! 😟 Snowpack levels in Western Washington are very low, with most areas reporting only 37% to 45% of normal, a concern for water supply and increased summer fire risk.
