The next leg of our tour was a bit confusing because the Google map we were given showed the next P-patch, Hawkins, to be near MLK and Jackson St, not too far east from Climbing Water. We went east on Dearborn, then across the playing fields and Judkins Park (which had a nice view of Mr. Rainier), up a trail at the end of the baseball diamond and by the SCCC wood construction shop with its mural at 23rd Ave. and South Lane. But when we arrived at the point indicated on the map, we found no P-patch and realized the map was incorrect. The Hawkins P-patch was at 504 plain Martin Luther King Jr. Way, not MLK South). We didn't want to walk on busy MLK, so we went west a block to 27th Avenue and proceeded north to the cross street for Hawkins P-patch.
Some sights we saw on the way: The Autonomia Community Space (600-24th Ave. S.); a cute circular pedal toy; and the anti-green shuttered house with cement lawn.
P-patch features: Hawkins had cute bird houses on the fence. A woman gardener introduced me to her dog and told us that there was a problem with rats eating their carrots.
