Work to build a permanent Sounder train station in Tukwila includes construction of a new parking lot by contractor Absher Construction; the parking lot should open in December. New train platforms nearby are being built in phases to allow uninterrupted passenger service. The project is slated for completion next spring.

These images were taken in the last week of October 2014.
Throughout the days, it's a constant 2-way stream of Volvo trucks.
The guys are now actively rebuilding the riverbed itself: digging out the previous 'temporary' core material, and replacing with large, profiled boulders.
The intention being to (a) provide better habitat for fish stock, and (b) seek to slow the speed of river flow during periods of heavy rain and high river levels. A neat job is being completed to landscape the ground in front of the apartments -- backfilling with stone and soil. A protective guide-rail is being welded, in stages, to the top of the protruding steel wall, prior to capping with cement.
A welding contractor is on-site, one of his tasks being to cut protruding steel piles to a uniform height.
He was also tasked with burning out little drainage holes, at ground level, to allow excess water to drain back into the river -- trapped water being able to exert greater pressure on a structure.
VERY TOXIC
mayapple is poisonous except for the fruit (lemon taste), which is generally eaten by animals; low hanging fruit, for real! Flowers in may, fruits in summer.
The poison (concentrated in the tubers ~4%) acts as a laxative, wart (topically), and cancer/tumor treatment (precursor to a few western cancer treatment drugs).
My best guess for starting dosage is ~600mg. If I test this I would start even lower. Do not eat this!

Do not get killed being stupid! VERY TOXIC!

I happened to noticed this guy on other side of the area at the Tuba Fest doing a lot of squirming. Then I seen why, it was cold this day.
I haven't posted one of these in a while. They brighten my day, hopefully yours too, as we head into what looks like a magnificent weekend here.
This is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird who really is needing to dig deep into this salvia to get at the nectar.
Oh, yes, glad you asked, it does look much better on black (hit "L").
No bobcats here, these guys dug this trench by hand in one day. It's for electrical from the main office to the new building on campus. Of course it stayed like this all night with no safety barriers until they filled it in the next day.
I think that this was in preparation for a cable laying project. The grounds of the Guyana Softball Cricket Association are in the background.

Digging out from 18 inches of snow. Thankfully, my neighbor (pictured here) and I bought the snowblower last year. It's fun to use, and does a great job.
This was taken at Nash Point yesterday - I've no idea what the man was looking for but in my imagination thought it might be gold!!!

Taken on Swansea foreshore - there is now a large lugworm bed on the sand and these men were making the best use of the remaining light to get their supplies ready!
A female furiously digging. As with many fossorial wasps she supports herself on the four rear legs whilst digging, "doggy fashion", with the front pair.
This is an image of a UK wasp but the Iberian form is identical.
