How about that mighty big weather

Fountain at Westlake Plaza

We're in the warming phase now, as the weather widget on my battered iBook shows a current temperature of 81 and promising an eventual high of 84 this afternoon. If you can't make it out to Alki or Golden Gardens to dip your toes in the chilly waters, why not take a stroll through downtown's man-made waterfall at Westlake Park? Yes, through. There's a steel gangway going right through the middle of the fountain. Pomegranite smoothie at Starbucks afterwards is optional, but highly reccomended.
