Past Post: Seattle Now And Then

September 17th, 2007 @ 7:38 pm by Cliffe | Sorted Past Postborder
I’m still reporting from Pennsylvania, but should be back in Seattle later tonight. So we’re going to enjoy a light-hearted take on the Past Postcard series. This time it’s Seattle Now And Then, Now being Then! It compares the Seattle waterfront sometime in the 1940’s (above) with 1874 (below). I guess “now” won’t be “now” forever. Click on an image for a larger view. Enjoy.

Back: Postally unused. Still just one cent.

    Apparently the mountain didn’t appear until later.

    That mountain is SO post-1874!
