Renton to Fairwood - June 7, 2022

-

 Locked into my regular bike to Northgate for the "1 line" now -- and down to Stadium station for Renton bus -- man, it's fast but so rough bouncing along, feel lucky my bike didn't bounce off!

And now quickly depart from Renton and discover the lovely bucolic Cedar River trail!


Lovely but all too short as I was paralleling a barreling-fast road and soon had to climb the all-too-long & steep & noisy 140th up up up to Fairwood (wondering why so many of these libraries seem to be built on the top of hills, nay, mountains?!!


& inside there's Diana, and Bernadette and even Denene again! And Peter too (who apparently bikes up this hill no problem on a regular basis). But, hey everyone's busy in meetings and I hardly even get a hello -- oh well, these poor workers (!!) 

Curious big painting too

Slept fitfully in anticipation of following days' two year fullfillment (choosing

 Didn't seem so very far next to the wee International District/Chinatown branch (library names replacing dashes with slashes now): with a very appropriate display of tea cups inside:

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!
