It's February in Seattle but the weather might suggest that it's May. It's been so clear and warm that over the weekend at least six driftwood "forts" appeared on the beach built in a variety of styles, by kids and adults alike. While many of them were built on Saturday, the 20th they were added on to on Sunday, with some taking the "lean to" approach and others looking positively architectural.

Many of the amateur builders were barefoot and others were bundled up. The beach began to look like a settlement for castaways toward the end of the day.

One boy, named Hawk, was having a great time just playing. His mother said, "It's a collaboration of all the kids and families that come down here. They were down here two days ago working on it. It's changed a lot since then and he does feel some sense of proprietorship to it," she said laughing. There were six or seven kids building it according to people there.
