Olympic Sculpture Park

Saturday evening my roommates went to see the new Die Hard film. It was a beautiful day so I decided to head to Seattle instead, with a plan to hop on a ferry to Bainbridge and check out some live music at Pegasus Coffeehouse. Unfortunately, I missed the ferry by about 2 minutes, and so I decided to go check out Discovery Park instead of wait 45 minutes for the next ferry.

On my way up North to Discovery Park, I passed a strange statue sticking out of a bridge. A few seconds later, it hit me that this must be the Seattle sculpture park I had read about in the past. After completing a quick u-turn, I was on my way back to the park. It turns out this was the Olympic Sculpture Park.I’m really glad I stopped.

The park is in a great location near Alaskan Way and there are great views of the water and the space needle throughout the park. There are a lot of little chairs throughout the area to sit and read, and I’m sure it would be a great place to take in a sunset.

I spent about an hour and a half wandering around and taking photos. The rest of my photos are up on flickr. Around 8:30, a friend of mine called and we decided to check out Benihana, a sushi bar near 5th & Seneca.

It took me about an hour to find my way over to Pike st. on foot, but it was worth the hike.The sushi was very good – I stuck with the basics and ordered two California Rolls and one Philadelphia Roll.

Below is a view of the restaurant:

Shortly after I got home, my roommates came back from a party. Adam was a bit tipsy but insisted on playing ping pong with all of us. The following action ensued:

Then we went to sleep. The end.
