Reply #20: Montlake Cut -- Here it is :-)

[gateley]

The stadium is off to your right as you look at this pic.

I remember once when the bridge (Montlake Bridge) broke and they had to wait for weeks to get it fixed because it was built in the 20's, so they had to manufacture the part from scratch. Edit to add that luckily it was stuck OPEN so ships could still pass through.



When I went home for my niece's wedding, I was heading up I-5 to my brother's. I take the Montlake Exit. When I was passing Lake Union, the sun was like diamonds on the water, sea planes taking off and landing, and of course the Olympics and Cascades just HUGE and majestic. I realized just how beautiful and unique a city it is, which I took for granted living there all my life.
