My cousin David is in town here teaching at UW, one of the very few people that I know in Seattle. He had tickets to a game of 'football', and we attended to watch the University of Washington turn a stunning lead into a disasterous collapse. The stadium looks like this:



I guess our seats had a good view, if you like the whole 'super cool view of lakes and two full mountain ranges' thing. The cascades are in the background here and the Olympic range could be viewed with a laborious 90 degree rotation of the head. Because of the low haze/clouds, Mt. Rainier couldn't be seen, but if you could just picture this scene with the addition of a Mt. Fuji-caliber peak in the background, thats what you get on a good day.
