    Birth Week Island #10! 14th Avenue & East Olive Street traffic island
    Area: ~347 square feet vPopulation: 0
    Distinction: only traffic island on record ever visited by “island cocktail” drinkers

    Laney smartly brought us orange vests. She gave me one of my best birthday presents ever: I just texted once, “I’m a girly man with a plan!” and she said I needed that on a T-shirt. So I said “Now you know what to get me for my birthday.” Ha!

    A Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections guy drove by and inquired … Laney’s impressive improv skills kicked in and she told him we’re doing a social experiment for a newspaper. The guy, who was very nice, seemed to buy it.

    After about an hour we had to pee so we came back to my building and shifted up to the rooftop deck.

    Birth Week Island #11! Vashon Island
    Area: 80.8 square miles
    Population: 11,055 (2020 census)
    Distinction: sixth-largest island in Washington State by area; largest island in the state south of the Admiralty Inlet (which passes by Port Townsend). “Old Bike in Tree” has been disappointingly picked apart since I last saw it, in 2012.
