There was a request for directions to Montlake Fill, so I'll give it a whirl.
Please let me know if it's prefered to respond directly, but I figure the more
people know how to get there, the fewer the excuses to not enjoy pulling
loosestrife!

Take I-5 to the 45th St. offramp. Go East on 45th. You'll go right on by the
main part of UW. Turn right on Union Bay Place (just after the golf driving
range). Continue past the golf range entrance (you're going birding, not
golfing, right?). Within a couple hundred yards you'll reach the Center
for Urban Horticulture (the buildings where the road bends), pull in to the
parking lot just before this (or park on the street, the parking for a fee
signs in the parking lot are *apparently* not enforced). On foot, with your
pitch-fork and shovel, head on down Wakiakum Lane and turn left at the next
major pathway (bark padded) to enjoy the place.

Oh yeah, feel free to grab ahold of the loosestrife and give it a good yank.
Or, better yet, watch the big Scot pull - just don't start him yapping ;-)
