Back in Seattle. The little ones have started their new school term, Shawni and Craig are into their working routine and we are riding the 62 bus which takes us into Downtown Seattle.
Fremont has a signpost that says it's the Centre of the Universe. The story goes that two scientists in 1991 concluded that there was no evidence for a centre of the universe, so why not right here in Fremont. Good enough reason for us to hop off the bus and stroll around.
This Seattle neighbourhood is on Union Lake. I had been wanting to watch seaplanes and Gas Works Park on the Lake is the perfect vantage point. The rest of our walk evolved and kept delighting us, especially the marina condos.

Gasworks Marina Condominium, sparkling in the winter sun.
A glimpse of an alternative lifestyle and a glimpse of a cold water swimmer. Both rather appealed to me in the moment.

| On our way to our lunch venue we found this piece of the Berlin Wall in Fremont, commemorating the role of Seattle and Boeing's C-47 in the Berlin Airlift of 1948. |

| A day out in Fremont, easy, trendy, quirky, a perfect pretzel and yet another interesting perspective on this fabulous city. |
