Pioneer Square has a view now

sunset view of Puget Sound from Main Street in Seattle

We went out for dinner the other evening, and once the sun was no longer blasting directly in our eyes — yay for precession of the equinoxes — we were treated to a hell of a sight.

See, the Alaskan Way Viaduct has blocked any real view of the Puget Sound from ground level since the 1950s. But it’s going away. Near Pioneer Square, it’s gone. I can look right at the water.

Until they start building up that juicy real estate, of course. But I’ll enjoy it while I can.

I know how to do stuff. It’s just that it’s weird stuff that most folks wouldn’t think to ask for.

ADHD as a career driver has mixed results.
