Sketchy Everett Volume 22 - Everett Alleyway

On my regular walk to the post office, I pass by this alley and it never fails to catch my eye.
Well, technically, it's not an alley so much as a perpendicular glimpse into the alley and beyond. It strikes me as quintessentially Everett: a residence tucked in a place you least expect it, garbage bins next to a fine art sculpture, tall brick buildings threaded together with zig-zagging power lines.
Alleyways are novel to me, since I grew up in a rural area. These in-between passageways exclusively belong to bikes, neighbors, garbage/recycle pickup, moving vans, and tiny garages with non-motorized doors, covered in morning glory vines.
The closer to downtown Everett one goes, the more developed these alleys become...secret promenades unto themselves. Apartments, bank drive-thrus, loading docks and even business storefronts discretely pepper the back corridors of our old city.
Elizabeth is an Everett, Washington-based artist and graphic designer. Using pen and watercolor, she sketches from life and creates 'illustrative infographics,' often featuring Northwest themes.
Is anyone else done with this haze? At least it makes good art. Check out this month's Sketchy Everett of Everett's hidden beachy treasure.
