Washington's Grand Coulee Dam In Seattle Seahawks Celebration Mode


On saw that which you see here, this Friday morning, on the front page of the Seattle Times online version.

Grand Coulee Dam lit up in the colors of the Seattle Seahawks, an Eastern Washington contribution to the statewide celebration of the Seattle Seahawks being in the Super Bowl again.

Actually, it is not just a Washington celebration. Pretty much the entire Pacific Northwest claims the Seattle Seahawks as their NFL football team.

I knew Grand Coulee Dam was lit colorfully after dark. I did not know the color scheme could easily be adjusted.

I do not think I have been to Grand Coulee Dam this century.

When I was a Washington resident I saw Grand Coulee Dam frequently, because it was near one of my favorite Eastern Washington locations, that being Sun Lakes State Park.

At my current location, Wichita Falls, Texas, there are no attractions of the sort which were so close when I lived in Washington. No mountains, or mountain ranges. No big dams. No big waterfalls. 

I have learned to like a nice flat land with very few scenic distractions...
