10k Stroll Through Magnolia
Our holiday family get-together in Chicago was abruptly cancelled when my nephew joined a couple hundred thousand people testing positive putting 1/3 of the family in quarantine, leaving another 1/3 without a place to stay, and all of us thinking that now was not a good time to gather with my 90-year-old dad. The weather in the mountains was miserable, so we opted for a very enjoyable 10k stroll through Magnolia on a gray, 35-degree day followed by a great lunch at Pink Salt (https://pinksaltseattle.com/). There was a wide variety of architecture, although as usual, much of it was an embarrassment to the profession. There was one exceptionally well executed turn of the century mansion and two modern houses we found interesting. We also spotted a submarine that appeared to be heading towards Bremerton.
