Found Dan Short 4-19-2018

If you have a child who attended Meridian Park Elementary, you probably remembered this sundial.

This sundial sculpture is located at the north end of the schoolyard at Meridian Park Elementary School.

The street that you see in the background is N. 175th St. and the sculpture is visible from the street. The picture was taken March 22, 2017.

Reader Tracy Etherton says that this sundial was created by the students of Room Nine (now Cascade K8) as a gift to Meridian Park the last year they were at Meridian Park the first time ca 2001-2002.

Did you get it right? If not - better luck next week!

Roving photographer Dan Short managed to find some sunshine - which is a good thing, because this object is apparently a sundial.

If you are not familiar with this particular work of art, you might recognize the location by the details in the background.

Where was he? Put your answers in the comments or just wait until tomorrow and we'll tell you!

Play shed at the old Children's Center
Photo by Dan Short
Did you know this one? I had no clue - good thing I had the answer! 

Dan was admiring the totem pole on the play shed behind the old Shoreline Children's Center which was the building just south of Meridian Park Elementary at N 175th and Meridian Ave N.

This was photographed over a year ago. The shed and the Center have since been demolished and a new building is going up.

The whereabouts of this totem pole and some other artwork that was on the other side of the shed are unknown to us.

Where is this?
Photo by Dan Short

Dan Short goes into the dead ends and back yards of Shoreline, in this case discovering a hidden treasure. Sometimes he has to go in, around, and behind to find art like this, which you could call an educational piece.

Don't go looking for it though, because it's not there. It might be somewhere else or it might come back. Dan hopes so.

If you know where it was, post your answer in the comments. Email readers - click the headline of the story to bring up the article and post your comment. Or y'all can just wait and see what the answer is - but then no one will know you were right!

Motorcycle Hill
Photo by Dan Short
Did you find Dan Short? Many of you did!

He was on NE 185th just before 10th NE, staring at the hill which was once called "Motorcycle Hill."

Story is that before the street was paved, motorcyclists used to ride up and down the hill at high speeds, doing wheelies and U-turns.

Reportedly one of them skidded and died there.

If you got this one right - congratulations!

If you didn't - there will be another chance next week!

Dan Short is exploring the streets of Shoreline this week and he found this very, very steep hill.

He wouldn't attempt this hill on a bicycle, or perhaps on foot. He would be able to get up the hill if he were driving a car, or perhaps another type of motor vehicle...

Actually the clue is only helpful if you have lived here a very long time and remember when this hill was a dirt road.

Make your guesses in the comments section - or just wait until Thursday for the answer!

We found Dan Short. He was standing in front of St. Joseph's Carmelite Monastery at 22nd Ave NE and NE 147th St.

Here's some history of the Carmelites from their webpage

"The Carmelite Nuns were admitted to the Order in 1452, and in the 16th century St. Teresa of Avila initiated a reform of the Order that began in Spain, spread throughout the world, and led to the establishment of the Teresian Carmel of which we are a part.

"In 1790, four Carmelite Nuns from Flanders in Belgium crossed the Atlantic Ocean to make the first foundation at Port Tobacco, Maryland. Eventually this settlement of nuns moved to Baltimore. St. Joseph’s Monastery in Seattle was founded in 1908 by a little band of four nuns who ventured from the Baltimore Carmel by train at the request of Archbishop Edward O’Dea. St. Joseph’s Monastery is the 7th Carmelite Monastery to be founded in the United States and the first on the West Coast."

Their current five acre site was purchased in 1956 and in 1965 the buildings were complete for the nuns to move in.

Did you know? If you didn't there will be another chance next week.

This time, Dan didn't have to go very far from home. This building doesn't hide, but it sits very quietly in the middle of a residential neighborhood. You could call it a group home, but no one does.

Just to be fair, here's another view of the building. Do you know what it is? Post your answer in the comments - or just think it to yourself and we'll tell you in the next edition!

Found: Dan Short #2
To find Dan Short, we had to get out of the car and hike down behind the site of the old Cedarbrook Elementary School on Perkins Way, to Whispering Creek.

It's in the wooded area next to the open fields at NE 190th St and 20th Ave NE that are not quite officially a park.

20th Ave NE at that place is the dividing line between Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

The Whisper Creek Habitat Restoration Site is a project of the Lake Forest Park Stewardship Foundation, which has done a lot of work on the site.
If you didn't know this one - better luck next week.

It's Wednesday and Dan Short is out exploring again. Where is he? Put your answers in the comments or just hold them to yourself and find out on Thursday.

Hint: he is inside the Shoreline city limits - but just barely!

Where was Dan Short when he took this photo?

He wasn't near the freeway on N 175th - that's a different set of black ponies.

You might walk by these ponies without even noticing them.

They are on a shelf, inside Trader Joe's at N 175th and Midvale.

Better luck next week!

Where's Dan Short #1

We introduce a new feature today with "Where's Dan Short?"

Dan is a Shoreline resident and avid photographer who explores local spots and photographs them. They are places which are known to the people who frequent them, but not to the general population.

Do you know where Dan was when he took this photo? If you do, post your answer in the comments (or not and just wait to see if anyone else gets it!) and we'll publish the location in the next edition.
