Roslyn, Washington, January 15, 2001

  

 

I left my work at mid-afternoon and drove east from Seattle-Bellevue into the Cascade Mountains, ending up at Roslyn, Washington. At Roslyn I dinned at Washington State's oldest operating saloon, The Brick (also of Northern Exposure fame).

 

First I stopped at Snoqualmie Falls. This is a mere 25 minutes from Bellevue...

 

       

 

     

 

Onward over the Cascades, toward Roslyn...

 

         

 

       

 

The drive to the Snoqualmie ski slopes from Seattle's Eastside takes about 45 minutes...

   

The little town of Roslyn sits on the eastern side of the Cascades between the Wenatchee National Forest and the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, about 75 miles east of Seattle...

 

       

 

At The Brick I sat close to a massive old wood burning stove and marked my birthday...
