I cheated at parking.

So I had gone on a beer run to get a 24-pack of Coors for the party last night , also picked up hotdogs and buns for cooking at the barbecue. Came back to the park, found that it had gotten even fuller. No parking available. However, there was space between the vehicles and the curb in the trailer parking area, and a 20-foot section of lawn separating that parking lot from the road I was on. I think you can guess what I did next.

I didn’t take pictures, but here’s an idea of what the parking lot was like, courtesy of Google Maps’ sat-view.

See that space next to that red car? That was where I’d parked. To get there, I had to hop the curb with Killer Queen from the adjacent road, which I did gently. Seattle PD was everywhere, and they didn’t bat an eye at this maneuver.

Soon after, a Jeep followed suit. Heh.

Why was the parking lot designed with tandem parking?

In the off-campus house where I lived my senior year of college my housemates and I had to double park in the little gravel lot towards the middle-right of the picture. The grassy yard right in front was very steep but in a few instances when I wanted/had to get out from being parked in and couldn’t get ahold of the housemate who had parked me in or their keys I tossed my 4runner into low range, climbed up the grassy hill, took an impromptu off-roading trip through several back yards and out through a spot where a yard opened up to an ally. (I would never do this to people’s yards in almost any neighborhood but these were all crappy student rentals on the biggest party street of a party school so they already had completely trashed lawns from routinely hosting hundreds of college kids for drinking festivities)

It seems to be on the Puget Sound and probably has a boat ramp

Correct. That was a trailer parking lot.
