This photo is another contribution from BDB reader, Linda. She took this photo "from the balcony of the condo we rented at the Harbor Steps downtown. We had an incredible view. It was an awesome Seattle vacation!"
Since view of Mount Rainier includes Qwest Field…I thought it was only appropriate to post this on gameday! GO HAWKS!

Just a reminder that the Northwest Hope & Healing Half Marathon & 5k Run/Walk is taking place tomorrow. Part of the route includes Beach Drive. I did a half-marathon a few years ago and the cheering fans was a great much needed support.
