Beyond Rainier Vista

The area beyond Rainier Vista, which lies just across the street, is filled with modest houses from every decade of the 20th century.  We often walk there with Jetta.  There are no sidewalks on this ridge, which I have only heard called Chubby & Tubby Heights, after a store at the base of the ridge on Rainier Avenue S, that was once locally famous.  Chubby & Tubby was replaced by an apartment building called The Claremont.  I like to call this area Leticia Ridge, after a street that runs along the east slope.  Rainier Vista presses up against the west slope.  From the east slope, you can see the Cascade Mountains.  These photos were taken in November 2011.
