On yet another uncharacteristically clear and chilly January day in Seattle, we walk from the Mt.Baker Link Station to the future Judkins Park Link Station. We take in the view from the East Portal Overlook, which overlooks the floating bridge to Mercer Island at the east portal of the I-90/Link tunnels. We also walk to the Mt. Baker Ridge Viewpoint, with great views to the west towards downtown and the Olympic Mountains. We then walk down Mt. Baker ridge to the Judkins Park station on 23rd. This station will serve the 2 Line, scheduled to open in late 2025.
