The amusement park at Seattle Center, Fun Forest is due to be demolished next year. As I walked around there today it occurred to me that this is the final summer for the old place. I asked one of the teens running a ticket booth and she got a little sad and said yes. I know time marches on and things change, but it's still sad.
Seattle Center was the first place my friends and I got to go to alone when we were 12 or 13. We took the bus in from Burien and road the Ferris Wheel and played the games. Now it's going away to make room for...something. I'm not sure final decisions have been made, have they?
Here's to fond memories of summer as a kid.
