You could sneak into Magnolia via the 15th/Ellliott overpass and avoid Ballard entirely! (Also, having just spent a good long time getting to and from Ballard on Metro, with the return trip featuring a lot of Sounders fans in various stages of drunkenness, well, I can only say that there are worse commutes.)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988552680114857345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680901681738005078.post-90267360545508475582015-07-31T11:32:19.325-07:002015-07-31T11:32:19.325-07:00I do remember that route.

I'm off at noon today so hope you have a good weekend. Go Ms. More blah.7 Deweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501338357444489028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680901681738005078.post-78750794210267368292015-07-31T09:48:32.429-07:002015-07-31T09:48:32.429-07:00There is no freeway route. The freeway only goes ...There is no freeway route. The freeway only goes North-South, and Discovery Park is quite a long ways west of my home. We have no fast east-west routes anywhere. Perhaps you remember a long time ago in the dark ages you had a job interview here at a company in Ballard and I showed you how to get there -- that's the same route. Only the park is farther away still. Far, far, far away. MOST annoying.<br /><br />I have made the drive a couple of times in pursuit of rare birds there, but other than that, or unless someone else does the driving, I am staying away!Alex MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121919349442258779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680901681738005078.post-41558835013579466132015-07-31T09:23:04.229-07:002015-07-31T09:23:04.229-07:00It's too bad you have to hassle with the drive...It's too bad you have to hassle with the drive since it does look like a great place to spend a warm sunny day. Phooey. Knowing you, however, you probably went some weird roundabout way instead of the quicker freeway route. Maybe I'm wrong. Nonetheless, a little hassle twice a year isn't so bad.7 Deweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501338357444489028noreply@blogger.com
