World Trade Center/Salmon Springs/Coraline's Cats

Thanks to everyone who came out.  The weather couldn't have been better.  And it was fun to see everyone's take on the cats, and on the fountain, in all it's configurations.

September 21 SketchCrawl - WTC/Salmon Springs

sketch by Vicky Porter

Those of us who have been downtown of late may have noticed that it's been overrun with cats.  They're scheduled to leave town in mid-October, so I thought we'd time our September sketchcrawl to catch them.

Let's meet at the World Trade Center, at the base of Salmon.  There are two cats very close, one at the WTC, at SW 1st and Salmon, and the other across Naito at Salmon Springs.  Or, if that feels too kitschy, there's always the nearby architecture, or the springs and waterfront.  And even Mill Ends Park.

It's downtown, so well served by Trimet.  The 6, 10 and 14 all stop a block or two away, and the bus mall is just up the street.

There are a couple of spots to get coffee: 40 Lbs, at 2nd and Salmon, and Starbucks, at 2nd and Main.

For restrooms, the coffee shops are probably your best bet.  Otherwise, there's supposed to be a public restroom on the waterfront under the Hawthorne Bridge.  And there used to be some up by City Hall at Chapman and Lownsdale Squares.

• 10am: meet at the cat at the World Trade Center for introductions
• noon: meet at the same place, or some place to be determined, for an optional sketchbook throw-down
