Hi, I followed your weblog and it is very useful in my component simply because I've learned so many things from you. Actually, you taught me almost everything and that i sometimes attempt them. 4.

I saw something similar to that lineup last month (April). I believe the boats are lined up for the first UW Crew team competition of the season.

You will note that the Space Needle does not have the newer lower level restaurant. That was added in 1982. In the same picture you will see that the watervront still has the work look about it. This is before it changed over to a lot of the shops and tourest attractions. This is when the Seafirst Bank Building was still the tallest building in Seattle. You can see this in the picture also. This was until 1985 when the Columbia Tower was built. We used to call it "The box the Space Needle came in" This is a favorite picture of this group. As for the Kingdome picture. I was around and watched it being built. Though it had its flaws, I miss the memories of things whe had done there. Thanks for all the comments on my pictures. Great memories.

These are the actual slides. I just checked the PI website and it states in a caption in a pic that opening day of boating season was May 6, 1979. I took this plane ride in April. Boating season was approaching as we had a nice spring that year. http://blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblog/archives/162927.asp?source=rss I was using my brand new Yashika camera that day. Was trying to get the best shots without wasting too much film. Glad I could share. I am the one that took the pictures – first sorry I did not take time to clean them up.

I haven't seen or thought about it in decades, but it seemed like for a while there you could always see it no matter where you were, even down in the Enatai area where I lived. It seemed to be aligned with a number of the main N/S roads, so that you were always seeing it there like Oz at the end of the trail. Wasn't even my church, but the sight of it now brings back nice memories of being nested in my community, before the world got quite so large.

They have historic sattelite imagery that you can cycle through and watch it progress through the stages of cover up. Pretty neat for us map nerds! I noticed that on Google Earth a while back.

I found the photo of Downtown Bellevue to be particularly interesting, since I have done a fair bit of research on the history of the Eastside. Nice find here.
