November 2014 . Leroy Haagen Park after dark. #vancouverwa #vancouverwashington #parkatnight #night #nighttime #smoke

Went out on my usual loop to nowhere and found the smell of #fire everywhere, with the #smoke thickening as I headed south. I asked someone walking down the sidewalk if there was a fire, and they said it was a gnarly one on Aurora. It was quite the sight when I came across it!

The mural says "our house is on fire" and there's a business adjacent to this vacant building called the Fireside Cafe. Spooky! #cycling #bicycle #seabikes #seattle
