Slushy Seattle snow January 15, 2012, 8:16 pm

It snowed on and off most of the day today but temps stayed pretty warm so much of the snow melted away. We decided to take a walk down to Ross Park- it was pretty deserted. More snow expected for Seattle later in the week!

Belltown P-patch Sign

We parked a few blocks from the Olympic Sculpture Park, right across the street we saw the Belltown P-Patch. This p-patch has the most personality of any one I’ve seen yet. All of the mosaic artwork on the park wall looked great and went well with our afternoon at the sculpture park.

Unfortunately, our favorite pavilion was closed on Jan 1, but fortunately weather was great so we got to hang out outside. The red eagle sculpture was looking its Sunday best.
