Fall is arriving late in Seattle this year, unlike when we visited last year during the drought, so the trees are mostly still green and the weather is mostly spectacular. We picked up and brought Blazin' Bagels to Adam and Katherine for brunch on Saturday morning, then we drove in two cars (because of two dogs) to Howarth Park in Everett, which allows dogs off-leash on its beach. Pepper was unenthralled with big dogs running around, but Thandi had a great time -- not even a dead seal deterred her -- and we got to see sailboats and the naval base beneath Mount Baker, plus a train on the tracks that people must traverse to reach Puget Sound.
After that, we went to Skipley Farm, also dog-friendly, where we hoped to get some apples for Rosh Hashanah, but they were were past peak so we picked grapes instead. We went back to Adam's house for dinner and shared a bunch of Thai dishes, though Thandi broke out of her harness, peed on the carpet, and was exiled to the porch, where she whined a great deal. After dinner, we walked to Grass Lawn Park to get Thandi some proper exercise, then we played a few rounds of Sushi Go before dropping Thandi off with Cahaya and coming back to Daniel's house past the UW stadium, where Stanford was playing, though we only watched it on TV.
