A very bad parking job along 22nd Ave. just up from Sam’s Sushi.

    This looks like the work of a Scandinavian - a graduate of the Ballard Driving School.

    Or an angry Critical Mass cyclist too afraid to slug a Thespian in a Subaru??
  • Or maybe someone hoping for a few quarters... too bad almost everyone uses plastic with these things.

    " someone hoping for a few quarters"

    Ballard's very own 'Cool Hand Luke' but with a lower IQ?

    It took place sometime during the Seafood fest thing. :(

    GB is right. Swedes would NEVER drive that badly ;->
  • Ha, while Mrs. Geeky Swede has trouble parallel parking, I can vouch for her whereabouts when said accident occurred.

    That was done by the Ballard Seafood Fest people with their big white Ryder rental truck that was parked in the Sterling Savings lot.

    It wasn't like that at 1am Saturday morning and it was like that at 10am Saturday morning.

    Truck driver to passenger, "Did you hear something? Huh. I thought I heard something. Oh well"

    PIS is right, I saw it happen about 9:30 Saturday morning as the Ryder truck tried to squeeze into the alley between the hedge row and a van also parked in the alley.

    Hey I just got back from Seattle and sat just a few yards away from that as I ate some smoked salmon at the Ballard Seafood Festival! By the way Ballard is great!
