There was some time on Thursday after completing our work to take a drive. We didn’t go into Seattle because they had the I-90 closed off for the Blue Angels who were practising for the Seafair Air Show that was happening this weekend. We stayed north of the city and went to Edmonds, WA for lunch and then to Brackett’s Landing Park to walk around.

There were a lot of people crabbing on the pier. Here is a guy setting his trap with raw chicken.

They caught a rock crab, but it must have been too small because they threw it back in the water.

After we headed to Discovery Park in Ballard. It had a very confusing trail system and it was also the hottest day so far this summer in Seattle. It got up to 94 degrees fahrenheit. So far they have had 9 days over 90 degrees which was a new record.
