You can tell the tourist season has descended upon Seattle when the Market is overrun with camera/phone camera bearing humans aiming at the same object. The Alaska Cruise Ships ( currently, a total of 3 ) disgorge their passengers on Fridays for a frenzied weekend of sightseeing and by Sunday afternoon the ships slowly parade, one after another, up Puget Sound and to Alaska. Tour guides with pink umbrellas and stuffed animals.
The number 12, in Seahawk colors, can be seen in a variety of places and forms. The number references the Seattle Seahawk fan base that support the football team. Walking around Alki Point recently I noticed the images below. Seahawk windsocks and even Seahawk duct tape was witnessed!
The flag atop the Brooklyn Bridge. If you look closely you can see the year, 1875, between the cables on the stone column. The vanishing point is a little left of center but, what the heck, so am I.
