We both felt like getting outside today, but it's cold and snowing in the mountains. Instead we went for a long walk at Shilshole Bay Marina and the Chittenden Locks, both of which are in Ballard - Seattle's old Scandinavian fishing village-turned-neighborhood.
Probably the highlight of the day was meeting a guy crabbing right off one of the piers at the marina. It didn't appear to be very difficult: he just tied a chunk of raw salmon to his net, let it sit on the bottom for a few minutes, and pulled it in. He easily caught his limit of a half dozen 6-7" Dungeness and Red Rock crabs in a few minutes.
We posted the pictures here.
