Just this Sunday while walking Greenlake I saw that someone had placed child's snow mitten (not cheap to replace) on a prominent fixture along the path where it might be easily found. My cell phone fell out of my pocket unnoticed and I got a call from a woman two neighborhoods away whose child had found it. My mother's wallet, cash and credit cards intact, was returned to her by a guy who found it in the restaurant parking lot she had dined in the night before. And, don't you just love it when more often than not people wave you to go ahead of them at blind intersections and wait for you to pass first on narrow streets, or wave "thank you" when you do the same? This is a part of our neighborhood culture that I really love.<br/>-Kim This is the kind of kindness in Seattle in general that I love to see others notice.

I think that was us!
but to be honest, I have been finding and picking up so many scarves and wayward gloves and setting them where I hope they might be found, I can’t be sure.
I can think of this happening outside trophy, Jhan Jay and Bartels all within the last couple weeks…
