Well, well, well. Quite a lot of Seattle history and nostalgia to report this week. The Seattle PI wrote up a great series covering the last 100 years of the city. Speaking of last week’s links — I rushed out to the Bridge Motel on 99 late this week hoping to capture it before it was taken down. No dice. It was a pile of rubble. A shame. Other sad news to report this week is the passing of Walt Crowley of HistoryLink.org.
