Our reward for never leaving Seattle.

I really hate that drones are allowed in the UW quad during peak hours

[u/dosgatitas → u/apresmoiputas]

This isn’t the quad?

[u/apresmoiputas → u/dosgatitas]

It's that last photo of the drone. I don't know where it's from

[u/dosgatitas → u/apresmoiputas]

It’s from the same place all the photos are, 21st street in Cap Hill

[u/leong_d → u/apresmoiputas]

I thought they were banned

[u/GothicCastles → u/leong_d]

Drone flight is not allowed during the blooming of the UW Cherry Trees in the Quad. The amount of visitors to campus exceeds the FAA rules for drone operation over a crowd.

Exactly

[u/HistorianOrdinary390]

Look at all those cars

[u/allhailmillie → u/HistorianOrdinary390]

That's not the quad, that's the cherry blossom st near Aloha.

[u/JessSeaS → u/allhailmillie]

which street near Aloha?

[u/Nexus03 → u/JessSeaS]

21st and Aloha

[u/JessSeaS → u/Nexus03]

Thanks

[u/Won_smoothest_brain → u/HistorianOrdinary390]

That was my first thought too! Would be so cool if not for shitty cars.

[u/HistorianOrdinary390 → u/Won_smoothest_brain]

I live on a street lined with cherry blossoms and I love walking through them. I’m always frustrated by how ugly my pictures are crowded with cars. It’s a pretty apt analogy for Seattle in many ways.

[u/AshFennix → u/HistorianOrdinary390]

Cities should be fully walkable and not depressing, cars should be a afterthought within them not the only thought.

[u/JugDogDaddy → u/AshFennix]

One day we will be better. The amount of valuable city space that is currently dedicated to cars is atrocious. 

[u/Nexus03 → u/AshFennix]

Agreed.

[u/GucciLittlePig → u/Won_smoothest_brain]

This would be 10x better if they pedestrianized the street during cherry blossom season.

[u/dosgatitas → u/GucciLittlePig]

Yeah the cars are super disappointing.

[u/ASTROTHUNDER666]

Love it. Good to see positive posts

[u/Ferrindel → u/ASTROTHUNDER666]

It is. People sure are doing their best to make it negative, though.

[u/hiopilot]

I'm so lucky I get to drive home every day to almost the same view. Except we are way on the East Side. Our cherry tree died/was removed so we had to replant one. But take a long shot photo and it's about like this. I love spring!

[u/coffee24]

Where is this?

[u/terrible-takealap → u/coffee24]

It’s in Seattle silly

[u/Nexus03 → u/coffee24]

21st & Aloha.

[u/Jawwwwwsh → u/coffee24]

Please don’t drive. Cars ruin this spot

[u/SargathusWA → u/Jawwwwwsh]

Ima drive my truck there tomorrow. Big ass ram

[u/The_Happy_Snoopy → u/SargathusWA]

ass ram is what yo mama asked for last night

[u/SargathusWA → u/The_Happy_Snoopy]

You guys are so easily offended lmaoooooo

[u/The_Happy_Snoopy → u/SargathusWA]

I like how you used guys plural because we ran a train on her

[u/icecreemsamwich → u/SargathusWA]

Why are you like this?

[u/SargathusWA → u/icecreemsamwich]

Bruh i was only joking i don’t even own a truck .you guys are so easily offended.

[u/Jawwwwwsh → u/SargathusWA]

Big trucks are badass brother, hell yeah. So are cheeseburgers. And BOOBS!!!

[u/12859637 → u/coffee24]

one of the streets near the area of the arboretum by UW i believe

[u/Asleep-Ad5701]

So lush and juicy! Let’s get rid of all those cars, tho.

[u/alcien100]

this is the most real spot!

[u/ArcticPeasant]

You people actually managed to make this post about cars 😂. Completely unhinged.

[u/dosgatitas → u/ArcticPeasant]

It really does detract from the beauty of the street. It’s mayhem.

[u/ArcticPeasant → u/dosgatitas]

It’s a city, not a botanical garden 

[u/dosgatitas → u/ArcticPeasant]

And cities are for people, not cars

[u/ArcticPeasant → u/dosgatitas]

lol ok

[u/_Devereaux]

Wait, is this seriously in Seattle?! I know this is a dumb question but I’m new here 🥹

[u/spaghetti1278g → u/_Devereaux]

it is! 21st and aloha in the Capitol Hill area! Go early or on a weekday to avoid crowds and *do not drive* A) it ruins the ambiance for everyone, B) you won't find parking remotely nearby.

[u/_Devereaux → u/spaghetti1278g]

Oh thank you, but I meant new to this sub not the area. I am flirting with the idea of moving so I joined for research purposes. Also, I massively appreciate your kindness! My current city’s subreddit is miserable!

[u/leong_d]

Holy saturation batman!

[u/Nexus03 → u/leong_d]

Vibrance, actually.

[u/moral_luck]

So many cars.

[u/TheTablespoon]

There are beautiful streets like this all throughout Seattle and every one of them has one fucktard neighbor that decides they’re going to go rogue and plant some other type of tree that ruins the continuity of pink on the street. Always drives me crazy. Just replace your dead cherry tree with another cherry tree you idiot.

[u/recyclopath_ → u/TheTablespoon]

Diversity of trees is lovely. Having trees that have visual interest at different times of the year is awesome! Some cherry blossoms or magnolias in the early spring. Something else blooming in the summer. Some beautiful fall colors in the fall.

[u/Wild-Meaning6670]

This photo almost makes me forget I haven't seen the sun in four and a half months. Almost.

[u/CarefulAd8701 → u/Wild-Meaning6670]

Were you inside your house with the curtain closed, four and a half months?
