I'm writing this page on my phone using the app, which means I can't do much with it, so will keep this brief.
Today I went to Golden Gardens Park, Loyal Heights Community Center and Playfield, Salmon Bay Park, Webster Park, Ballard Playground, Ballard Commons, the parts of the Burke-Gilman Trail that include both the actual and the published locations of its western water fountain, NW 60th St Viewpoint (which is near the published location), Gilman Playground, Ross Park, and Sunset Place. So I went to every park water fountain known to me in "NW" south of 85th (but not to the imaginary one at Baker Park on Crown Hill), every park restroom ditto, and here's what I found:
All fountains were running except the southern one at Golden Gardens Park. I drank from those at Ballard Playground and on the Burke-Gilman Trail, and found their water OK.
All restrooms were open except Gilman Playground's (still posted), and Ross Park's, but that was at 8:40 P.M. Even if park restrooms are keeping their advertised hours for summer - 7 A.M. to 9 P.M. - that's within a reasonable amount of leeway.
I'm beginning to hope that year two of the Durkan Drought is finally over, at least in North Seattle.
All for tonight, dear Diary. Tomorrow I'd hoped to hike again, but I hurt too much, so should have plenty of time to tell you whatever else needs telling about the two latest hikes.
