If you're the type of person who works in Pioneer Square during the week and never think to go into the neighborhood on the weekend, then you would have missed something very unusual. Snowboarding! That's right, they were snowboarding in the middle of Pioneer Square in October. Now, how does that happen you wonder? Since it rarely snows in Seattle and when it does, it's never in October and it usually melts unless it's some sort of freak of nature. Well, they trucked it all in.
This is annual Downtown Throwdown event and this is the second year it's been in Occidental Park. There was media, a DJ. The certified Neapolitan pizza place took out the oven and set up outside and all the typical audience you would find at these events: young, excitable and slightly high.
So, it took awhile for the set-up, but when they set up, it was all action, with some talking here and there. I guess the last twenty minutes were the juiciest.
Despite the off-and-on rain, it still drew a crowd. Now, it would have been really weird if there was a Christmas tree or something.
