 More new roads to discover, first through Issaquah, and wait, what's this?


(shd I sue them for copyright infringement of MY radio show name -- 'course, heh: they've probably had the name longer than me -- ok, never mind...!)
& first along the lovely shores of Lake Sammamish (almost circumnavigating whole lake on this day's ride) but turning off and up, Up, UP -- man, it had looked like a near vertical climb on google maps but I couldn't believe it but no, here it is in the flesh, whew -- nothing so lovely either just a narrow so-steep bike lane next to a too-busy road....

& inside when I asked what iconic photo cd represent the library, staff pointed out the view of Seattle from the back window!:

 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...!
