Labor Day at Golden Gardens in Ballard

Golden Gardens Park on Shilshole Bay could be called "Seattle's Seattle"... water, boats, mountains, seashore, and all the variety of beach-going Seattle folks. It has been loved for generations and it's a "happening place." My 7 year old found two friends right away, us mothers sat on logs and chatted (one of them told me she lived right in Ballard at the top of the hill, what a perfect location! she's a caterer and we discussed some of what makes Seattle food unique...the Northwest bounty of berries, seafood, and wild things that right now is showing up on our tables in abundance). Couples strolled down the edge of the waves. Groups sat on logs in deep discussion or played frisbee and volleyball. in the Boathouse a private party laughed and cheered and feasted. There must have been almost 20 fires that night...there are 12 approved firepits and many people make it a habit to bring their own wood and picnic into the night.

Last night, it was the place to be.
