Hanging at the docks...

We've been spending time on the waterfront in Tacoma lately, a quiet place to find our daily geocache, and it's surprisingly interesting. Last week we saw four 300+ foot high cranes arrive by ship. Today, one of them is already installed on its new pier. We found a tiny hidden park, just a strip of walkway leading from road to waterway, with a tiny platform that faced south. With buildings right next door, we wondered about the placement. But when we walked down to the water's edge, I understood. The platform was much older than the structure next door; in years past, it would have had a bird's eye view of Mt. Rainier. The mountain was hiding today, but it was still a good view.
