It was a lovely day for a walk and the Green Lake and North College Park neighborhoods were at their best on this Spring day. Resisting the urge to walk around Green Lake, I stuck to the streets which were mostly residential but did house some cafes and restaurants along Green Lake Way.

Bishop Blanchet High School and its football field took up almost the equivalent of  three city blocks. Northwest's Child Aaron's Place run by the Washington Autism Alliance abuts the school property.

Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church is nearby.

Here is a mural from Cascadia Elementary School which abuts the area.

There were quite a few dead-end streets where the neighborhood hugged I-5 and busy N 85th Street but most of them were quiet and lovely. All the streets had curbs and sidewalks were present alongside most properties. Many of the streets were cement.

One property owner had interestingly landscaped the parking swag.

Here and there, I glimpsed views of the downtown skyline.

This picture looks back toward the steps I climbed on the south side of 80th Street near Meridian. It lead to an alley behind houses.
On this 4.5 mile walk, I spotted one public restroom at 77th and Green Lake Way. I noted four Little Free Libraries; they contained mostly children's books but also had modern novels and self help books. I also passed a mailman, delivering the mail on foot.
