Yes, it's walking distance if I want to get some exercise, but I prefer to get there by car and walk along the shoreline. The views in this place are incredible.
If I go a few blocks in the other direction, this is approximately what I see (Mt. Rainier), all 14,440' of her, although I don't get quite that close up of a view.

You certainly live in a beautiful part of the world. Now I am going to be very ignorant hearing it was the 25th anniversary of the Mount Helen eruption are you anywhere near that?
