Thursday's stop.
This restaurant had henry paint the whole building 5ish? years ago. Then they went out of business about 3 years ago and the property has been sitting vacant since then. Henry painted over the boarded up bits and I think he must have touched things up at some point because I'm pretty sure it was vandalized a while back.

I love the owl. Super cool to have the art interact with the structure.

For sure - an article from over 10 years ago said he had 200+ murals in Seattle. Who knows how many now, especially with the 1000 sasquatches he's doing this year...
It's kind of ubiquitous in this end of town to the point where his stuff is almost part of the landscape so people don't think much about it. I asked some friends if they had any new ones in their neighborhood and they were like, 'well, I know I see them all the time but I'm not sure where'

All I know about sasquatches, I learned from this sign shared by our long-lost friend PrairieDog.

One reason I'm doing this is to keep my 'commute' interesting and give me reason to explore. I've been slowly filling in my heat map of north Seattle and King County and am nearly out of untravelled streets that are nominally between my house and work. So this seemed like a good motivator to keep taking different paths home.
Anyways, tonight on the way home I detoured to cover a 1.5 block area I'd never been on since its squished against the freeway and the only thru streets are crazy during rush hour.
What looks like a driveway or alley was listed as a street on my map so I worked my way past the 8 nearly million dollar townhouses that have been shoehorned into an odd size lot only to find
This in the alley behind them!

Good to have projects on the bike. Keeps the mind occupied and distracted from suffering. And if you can investigate something interesting while riding, so much the better!

when its dark and you are down in the vale and you hear whatever that's following take that last step when you pause can make a believer out of you,of course could be a bobcat( not that you want a rabid bobcat a chawin on yea) there's one little ravine on the way home where something will follow you up the draw( I saw a fresh tree break there about 8' off the ground and one of my friends has seen a 10 ft tall slender something or the other that crossed the road in 2 steps down on the bottom)he has never changed the story,occasionally at night something will bellow and raise heck,sounds like nothing you ever heard before,then there is that thing in the dark that makes the most unusual sounds that always keeps you the same distance away when you try to get a light on it( could be a fox in heat I am told) the common denominator is cover and proximity to water.One spooky thing is what I call the "Walker" at night right after sunset,something walks about you never see.( hey its almost Halloween-just saying,never did find out what the red-eyes were on the building after dark when we had to go feed the dogs at the old home place)
