Sammamish River Kayaking (Mike & Mia)

Before Mia left for her summer job in Wisconsin at the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, she and Mike took the kayak for a paddle on the Sammamish River in Bothell for a socially-distanced activity during the peak of closures during COVID-19. Since parks were closed, we felt that the best place to put in was at Brackett's Landing, which has river access, but public street parking as well.  The trees were in peak blossom as we cruised along the river.  We even saw an otter at the end of our trip, which we didn't get a chance to photograph, because it dipped back into the water too quickly.

Mia enjoys the reflection of the pedestrian bridge at Bothell Landing just months before its demolition made way for a new bridge.
