I prefer Mount but I guess that would not fit on the sign as well.
It’s an aptly named street though, I can’t imagine it being any rainier than it has been these past few days. *ahem*
Anyway, it’s a pretty short street with only two houses. But both of them are quite magnificent.
The beginning of Mt. Rainier is a short, but steep, hill. Occasionally this climb thwarts the underpowered trikes trying to bring me home at night. I have to get out and walk the rest of the way from here.The first house you come to is owned by an English chap. I know of him, but don’t know him personally. Someone who does says the house is amazing inside.Another view. Lots of balconies and an open rooftop. Seems almost perfect.And then there is Heidi’s place. I’ve been to a couple of social gatherings there and it is really fantastic inside.Especially that top floor.
Here are some photos I took at a birthday party I attended there last year:
The rooftop features this bar which frankly would be one of the nicest in town if it were a public pub.And it is huge inside.The front end is open-air, affording views like this one. Incredible.And there is a pool on the ground floor.
One of the nicest houses I’ve been inside. Ever.
So, that’s it for Mount Rainer Avenue. It packs quite a punch for its short stature.
Another Mount Rainier vista.
Totals so far:
9 streets
51 houses

Very nice houses. Thanks for the interior shot of Heidi’s house. Would be nice if you could finagle an interior shot of the other house, but I guess you’d have to get in good with the English chap first.
Haha! I know his housekeeper…I suppose I could ask her to sneak some photos…
