old stompin' grounds: Richmond Beach

-

 Then westward and down, down to ol' favorite Richmond Beach (closest to my home growing up)


And this after little detour to lonely curious Shoreline museum...but RB has some bucolic sculptures outside:


& inside so aquatic I was surprised to stay dry!:

Penultimate North Bend!

-

 So, now I only need to descend down steep wide sidewalks under the near shadow of Mt. Si,  and then turn east on busy 202, and as I come into North Bend how nice that there are multiple signs proclaiming "Library" for me, and here I arrive! & how lovely here is Julie inside  and yes, she certainly could help me as to where the bus stop is  and I found the main drag for a bakery quick stop before jumping on the hour-long bus ride (along with a gold prospector!) retracing my steps back to my car in Issaquah..... & that, folks, is library #49!!!! I only have Skykomish left -- will I ever make it there? We shall see but there is at least one more blog post to go....(!)

Greenbridge

 Very close to White Center (and methinks, not too far from some of the SW Seattle branches I had biked to which now seemed so long ago already!) I came upon Greenbridge! Not only one of the only branches without their collection online, but also having no music CDs to check out (what sacrilege!) but also about the only branch without a bike stand outside to lock up to...! But at least one staffer inside recognized me from the occ. post about this bike venture I have been putting on the KCLS staff association facebook page!
