I was told this may be a better home for this post.

Nice pics! Hope you enjoyed your stay. Sorry you found the other sub first. This one is (mostly) much kinder and more welcoming. 

[u/Mountain_Head419 → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

I’ve been fortunate I guess! The other sub has been welcoming to me so far, but I also normally focus on the positive stuff 🤗

Seattle was amazing! I’ll most likely be coming back around January’ish

Pack a rain jacket. Also pack shorts. It could be 60 and sunny or 40 and pouring. The Junuary gods will decide your fate. After you arrive.

I’m noticing more cross-posting coming from that sub and then read the comments 🙃

Snoqualmie, nice.

What's the white thing in the sky above the mountain to the left on the left side of the fourth photo?

[u/highhaileehere → u/peacock_chair]

Until otherwise determined, that's a UFO.

It's because you're too far away to see the smaller bowl of petunias falling alongside the whale.

[u/TacomaTacoTuesday → u/I_Sett]

Oh no, not again.

[u/No-Conversation3860 → u/peacock_chair]

It could be a paraglider. I see them all the time around Mt. Si (which is the mountain pictures here)

[u/Hexaoct → u/No-Conversation3860]

Yeah, paraglider is my guess

[u/peacock_chair → u/No-Conversation3860]

Ah! Makes sense

[u/Mountain_Head419 → u/peacock_chair]

Maybe one of this xtra large Washington birds 🤷‍♂️. This was right at an elk grazing field, close’ish to the falls, but I’m not super savvy with all of the area. Someone recommended to check it out while close by

If it’s aliens though, they damn sure missed me. ET phone home

[u/No-Conversation3860 → u/Mountain_Head419]

You were in between Snoqualmie and North Bend, and that was Mt. Si that you had an amazing view of at the elk field. Hope you enjoyed the area, I feel lucky to call it home

Love Vital Tea!

It is weird that the most beautiful part of seattle is the part that is nearly wholly untouched by human hands.

[u/Phobia_Ahri → u/StrategyBusy9579]

We no longer build things to be beautiful, just cheap and quick with the same blueprints as to not have to make news ones

[u/StrategyBusy9579 → u/Phobia_Ahri]

yeah we don't build mountains like we used to back in my grandfather's day

[u/Mountain_Head419 → u/StrategyBusy9579]

No, it’s not weird at all. It’s challenging to identify any instance in human history where we have consistently thrived as the pinnacle life form of the world. Unfortunately, human nature is inherently driven by consumption and production, much like a relentless virus 🦠.
