@CathyTuttle five streets that inspire me in Seattle:
Fairview Ave: school street in Eastlake. #SchoolStreets
Lake Washington Boulevard: from Mt Baker-Seward Park when it is an Open Street. #AccessibleLWB
Occidental Ave: Seattle's historic pedestrian-only street. #PedestrianStreets
42nd Ave S: A p-patch diverter in South Seattle. #HealthyStreets
Ballard Ave: since it became Seattle's most successful #cafestreet
