Walked from the Federal Way light rail station to the Tacoma train station (with two unexpected detours), partly along the BPA Trail: 38k steps, 19 miles. A good dumb walk to end a year of them.

Looking south along the BPA Trail, under the eponymous power lines.

Walked around Green Lake for the Pathway of Lights. Too crowded, but still glad I went — good weather, music, and views.

Had coffee yesterday with Bryan, then walked to the train past Green Lake.

Hiked up to the top of Mt. Teneriffe: eight hours (including a half hour at the top eating lunch and taking in the view), 31k steps, and almost 4k feet of elevation gain. It was hard but worth it. (I tried but didn’t make it three years ago. I’m in better shape and the weather was cooler this time.)

Walked the Sammamish River Trail from Bothell to Marymoor Park, about 10 miles, 3½ hours. With getting to and from the trail, and a short walk after dinner, I totaled something like 16 miles for the day.

Found myself idle with a couple hours to kill, so I took the train down to Capitol Hill and strolled around, taking a few pictures and peeking through the record bins.
