It is located about where the KOMO TV studios are now (Fisher Plaza). I wonder if this used to be the KOMO antenna? I am also curious about the antenna tower.

I think the Western side of the hill is exactly where that string of lights is. @Ben, I thought that might be the 12th Avenue Bridge, but the old red Vet hospital is too far to the left for that to be the case.

That string of lights can't be Beacon Avenue in the northern part of the hill, because Beacon heads down the western slope and becomes Holgate. Looks like the 12th Avenue (now Jose Rizal) Bridge, then Golf Drive S., then either 14th or 15th Avenue S. to where they intersect with Beacon, <i>then</i> Beacon.

It does not appear to be one of the current towers up on Queen Anne hill itself. It is kind of hard to see in the picture, but it almost looks like the base of the tower would be abour where the Space Needle is now. I have never seen a view of Seattle with a radio/TV tower there.... I am curious about the radio / TV tower visible above the Center House/Armory building.
