The theory to test: Pumpkins per block dramatically increase after greenways are added to Seattle streets.
Pumpkins may potentially be a good (and fun!) indicator of community connections, family-friendliness, walkability, and health.
Ballard Greenways pumpkin counters want to carve out a head start on pumpkin counting. Here's their invite.
- Meet at 5:30 p.m. at 17th & Leary on bikes for preliminary count of 17th Ave NW
- Stop at 6:30 p.m. at Chuck's Hop Shop 656 NW 85th St. for a glass of pumpkin beer
- Return south via 6th Ave NW and West via the wonderful NW 58th St Greenway for a fun ride to another prospective greenway
- Folks should bring lights!
