Fremont: Rebuilt Stairways and Fall Views

This weekend Cathy tagged along with a Meetup group that specializes in following the routes detailed in Seattle Stairway Walks. On a blustery Sunday morning about 15 people gathered near the Theo Chocolate factory/HQ, then set out for the scenic byways of Fremont (see Chapter 2).

Two of the stairways along the route have been completely rebuilt, at N 45th Street near Fremont Peak Park and at N 43rd Street, heading up to Greenwood Avenue N. Here are interesting before-and-after views:

Here are some additional colorful views from the route. Most pictures were taken on the day of the walk but a few were taken a couple of days later, after the weather had cleared.

"Stairs Appear in a Hole Outside of Town"

There's something mysterious and magnetic about stairways, something that draws us on to find out what's at the top - or the bottom.

"Stairs Appear in a Hole Outside of Town." That's the title of a new Graphic Poem about a stairway that appears from nowhere. To read the rest of this strange new work, click here!
