Our December 16th outing begins in the most fitting way possible — at Larsen’s Bakery, a true neighborhood institution where the scent of cardamom, butter, and almond paste carries into the crisp winter air. From here, we set off with sweet inspiration, heading toward the Loyal Heights Playfield. Even in the quiet of winter, the playfield hums with the memory of summer ballgames and community gatherings, a reminder of how these green corners knit together the fabric of Seattle life.
