Walk nearly any neighborhood in Seattle this week and you will pass under pink and white blossoming arches and over fallen petals. I took this on a street in the Hawthorne Hills neighborhood. Cherry trees are at their peak, while plums are finished blooming and leaves have replaced blossoms.

Every city has its own collection of sticker artists, and Seattle has some really cool ones. I liked this negative/positive sticker of a crow on a wire. This is by graphic artist Antiuser. I admire his crow series. The reflections on the back of the sign made things interesting.

Rumor has it that the owner of a former bartender at the popular Blue Moon Tavern on NE 45th Street posed for this logo on the neon sign outside the establishment.

Update:  Anonymous readers report the following:
"The woman featured in the Blue Moon sign owns the Streamline Tavern in Lower Queen Ann." and, "The model was a bartender there, not the owner, and she was a Rat City Roller Girl...she is in the documentary - see on Netflix."

Sunday Bridges #20: Washington Ship Canal Bridge

This lengthy steel truss bridge was completed in 1961 to carry Interstate 5 traffic over the Lake Washington Ship Canal where it curves around from Lake Union into Portage Bay. I took this at sunset looking south from the University District toward the shores of the Eastlake neighborhood.
Be sure to visit Louis la Vache's Sunday Bridge Series which features bridge photos from bloggers all over the world. Enjoy!
