Altogether and nearly one hundred strong, we walked with eight dogs and two babes in strollers. We used walking sticks and a scooter. We walked through trees, over bridges, up stairs, along lakes and rivers, over hills, through an historic fort, along a sunny beach, and in the snow. We passed goats, people in funny hats, amazing fungi, a slug, one Christmas yard display, and a rainbow over Lake Washington. We walked in the daytime, at night, and at dusk with a full moon. \u00a0A few of us even ran into each other, spotted by our bright yellow or orange attire.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4254\" src=\"http:\/\/www.annefocke.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-29-at-12.30.18-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"31\" height=\"28\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My long-time friend, Norie Sato, made the circuit around Lake Union with me.\u00a0Norie was the first person to accompany me on my annual Thanksgiving walk around the lake after I&#8217;d been doing it solo for a few years. During that walk she also gave me the news that the City of Seattle had recently designated a path around the lake as the Cheshiahud Loop Trail. Directional signs began to show up shortly after that. \u00a0The walk with her that day inspired my invitation to other friends to join in what, since 2010, has been an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annefocke.net\/?p=2488\">annual tradition.<\/a> Below is Norie at the entrance to Good Turn Park on the northeast side of the lake. It&#8217;s one of many street-end parks created by the City all around the lake. It&#8217;s a regular stopping point on our annual walk.
