We headed south, leaving mid-morning under a cool sun. Our goal today was the International District.
Downhill for a mile to the University Bridge to cross the ship canal. Then up to the top of Capitol Hill. We could have continued another mile on foot but chose to duck into the light rail station instead.
Emerging from the depths 4 stations south we were at our general goal.
Heading several blocks east, we got to our primary destination, the Wing Luke Museum. We had not been here before and took in the majority of the exhibits. We did pay particular attention to an exhibit done by the parent of the last two kids under Carl’s care (ending with Covid). The kids were primary in the film, following the narrated story of a refugee from Korea.
We were a bit peckish after the museum, so we crossed the street to the Jade Garden for lunch. I know we were hungry because we ordered more food than we could reasonably eat. At one sitting, that is. We will have at least one more meal from the leftovers.
Back to light rail for the trip to our neighborhood, followed by a quick bus ride to avoid most of the last 1/4 mile walk.
13,000 steps later, we are happy to be home.

I haven’t been to Wing Luke for decades but I was in the International District for my daughter’s wedding; the day before she gave a Seattle tour since many of the guests were out-of-state or country.

There are so many museums in Seattle that I haven’t been to, or only have been to once. I noted the Pinball Museum was just 2 blocks away.
