Photos of the Day – Chasing the Rainbow at 520 Bridge View Park

There’s a little park at the edge of the 520 floating bridge in Bellevue. Bellevue, like most cities in Washington, has tons of little parks – green, often lush from the wet and moist climate. It rains a lot here! As such, there are multiple times in a year where I would see a full-blown rainbow just around the corner of my backyard.

I took these series of photos when another rainbow appeared, this time at 520 Bridge View Park.

Here’s a bench where you can chill, and it overlooks the bridge that leads into Seattle from the Bellevue. If you walk directly to the left of the pathway here, you’ll end up in one of the wealthiest parts of Washington State – Medina.

Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates both have homes here. If you wanted to gaze at a few 30 million dollar plus homes (I have) you’ll have a field day in this place. Ironically, the city (Medina) is broke even with all the multi-billionaires living there because there are no income taxes collected in Washington!

This is the 520 bridge which is one of two floating bridges (the other is the I-90 bridge) in Lake Washington that connects Bellevue to Seattle.
