I am Seattle for a few days, doing a Point and Shoot for Wildlife workshop for Seattle Audubon. I got to Seattle, after already a long day of travel, in the afternoon, and checked into a hotel near the SeaTac airport. If you have been, you know SeaTac is not exactly centrally located for Seattle proper, so I looked for somewhere more local to get out for a few hours. Ed Munro Seahurst Park is a sizeable chunk of green on the edge of Puget Sound, and only about 20 minutes from the hotel. I am sure there is much more to it than I saw in my limited visit, and I am also sure that on a clear day the view across the Sound to the islands with the Olympics behind must be spectacular. The view was hazed in yesterday, but I still enjoyed the afternoon sun, the rocky beach, the blue water, and the driftwood.
