The Urban Sketchers Seattle ad hoc group met at Stone House
Café and Bakery on Friday morning. A
former 1920’s service station, the well preserved building is situated across
the street from Lake Washington in Rainier Valley. A wall of towering trees
creates a forested backdrop for the house built of stones. A view of Mercer
Island adds to the lake living ambience of the place.

Because the views are intrinsic to the location and very pretty, I chose a view from the patio looking out at Lake Washington The café has a rugged
stone exterior and a cozy wood interior with wide open water views to enjoy
while dining.

A view from the lake side accentuates
the classic character of the structure.
The scalloped fence, stacked stones, gabled roofline and woodland setting evoked
fond memories of remote, last-chance service stations "up north" in Michigan, my home state.
