While we just had a view of it
on Monday, I just seem to always come back to Smith Tower. A co-worker friend and I were agreeing tonight at dinner that it’s probably our favorite building in Seattle. From my West Seattle home I’m lucky enough to have a view of it from the window. Check out the Max R. Jensen Ektachrome from the late 50’s or 60’s. Click for the high res.

It’s my favorite building, too. I was so jealous when I heard they were converting to condos–I would love to live in the Smith Tower!

I agree. The best highrise in the city. It has so much character.

I’m with the Northwest Lesbian & Gay History Museum Project, and we’re always looking for photos of the corner of 2nd & Washington from back in the day (where the Double Header & Casino were/still are).
This photo is wonderful but frustrating because you can *almost* see them! But you can see Barney’s Loans.
thanks!
