Sophia and I had a recent rainy Sunday outing from West Seattle to
SAM's Olympic Sculpture Park for "a walk in the park" with other
iggies and their people. We left the car in the Junction near the farmers market and took the free shuttle to
Seacrest Pier to catch the
Elliott Bay Water Taxi across the bay to Pier 55.

The "Sightseer" operated by
Argosy Cruises.

We walked along the waterfront and stopped for fish and chips at Ivar's Seafood Bar. They have a glassed-in eating area that appears to be dog friendly. Then we walked the length of the waterfront headed north towards the Olympic Sculpture Park. I finally got to see
Father and Son at the same time.

These "Eye Benches" are very cool. There are 3 pairs of them. One side is a huge eye, the other side is a sitting bench.

A hardy group of 5
people and 7 appropriately dressed
IGs braved the wet and windy weather.

My favorite piece, "
Love & Loss". It is hard to appreciate it in 2 dimensions since it is 3 dimensional, interactive art. You can sit on it! The letter e in the word love is the top of a table to the right of this shot.
Several hours later we headed back, walking back to Pier 55 and catching the boat back across the bay, the free shuttle back to the Junction, and then dragging our wet and soggy selves into the car to drive the few minutes home. We were pretty tired!
