Feel free to submit photos of 25th and Calhoun that you'd mentioned, I'm sure everyone would love to see the changes. Cliffe Hey Holly,

Glad you like the feature, though this one was more telling of greenery than the buildings. Feel free to submit photos of 25th and Calhoun that you’d mentioned, I’m sure everyone would love to see the changes.

The first time I saw an old photo of my neighborhood (Montlake), I was shocked at the lack of trees. Then someone explained to me that Yesler had clearcut most of this side of Seattle, then the developers came in and sold lots for people to build houses, or in some cases, built houses themselves. There is a photo in the municipal archives taken from the corner of 25th and Calhoun looking west toward the Montlake School which is three blocks away. Now, if you stand on that corner, you can't see the school for all the trees. I love your reframe posts!
