Beacon Bluff to Climbing Water (about 20 minutes)

The next P-patch on our list was the Hawkins P-Patch.   From Beacon Hill, we caught the I-90 Trail, or the Mountain to Sound Trail heading southeast.  This nice walk led us past some lovely public art and a Korean pagoda in Taejon Park.  We followed signs pointing to Rainier Avenue and came out just south of the I-90 freeway running overhead.  We crossed Rainier Avenue to pick up the trail again on the other side, passing an abstract flame-shaped sculpture titled "Sensei" on the way.  The trail led us to Hiawatha Place S., where we turned north, then east, then north on Davis Place S., to arrive after a couple of blocks at the Climbing Water P-Patch, situated next to a batch of ugly beige condos.

P-patch features:  chickens and ducks!  A friendly man introduced us to his poultry, picking them up to show us how tame they were.  The ducks had a small wading pond in their cage.
