Alki Point, Seattle

blakely formation

Just inland from the [Alki] point is a small hill of about 75 feet (23 m). This hill is one of the Seattle area’s few bedrock outcroppings, and possibly the only one outside of the Duwamish River valley. It constitutes a piece of the 23-million-year-old sedimentary Blakeley Formation.

World Report 2024: Bolivia (hrw.org) Political interference has plagued Bolivia’s justice system for years. The government, both under former Interim President Jeanine Áñez and current President Luis Arce, has used an overbroad definition of “terrorism” to prosecute political opponents.
