I have lived in the same 3 block radius by the Space Needle since fall of 2016. I walk the same loop, down by the Belltown P-Patch and then all the way down to the grain elevator. I have seen so many harbor seals, river otters, hummingbirds, ducks, geese, and the occasional bald eagle. This area has brought me so much joy and peace over the years. I love seeing the same people walking/running/biking in the morning and all the good dogs, whom always seem to have a smile for me. I’m moving to First Hill for the foreseeable future and my bf said we may come back to this area but I’m ready for the chance it doesn’t happen.

Moving to the Seattle area from Iowa was the best thing I’ve ever done with my life and I’m thankful my ex bf for bringing me here 12 years ago.
