Earlier this month we posted
Part 1 of the April 1982 “From Seattle Center To Downtown” photo set and here comes Part 2.
As you’ll recall, these photos were taken by Vintage Seattle reader Colin Holloway’
s parents during trips to the Emerald City selling vintage auto parts.
Thanks once again to Colin for digitizing these and sending them in.

The third pic has a green sign on the right. What exactly does it say? I’m not sure I’m reading it right……
I think what you’re reading was meant to say SEATTLES, but the sign looks somewhat modified.

Neat, do the UPS vans never change? The Kitsap still looks the same. Amazing that thing is still running.
Isn’t the For’csle Tavern now the Inn at the Market?
Another great set of photos. Thanks for sharing Mr. Holloway.
Image 3 above should be compared with the first one in the 1978 set sent in by Jana Robertson, here:

And is that a water tower I see here in the next-to-last? Above the Public Market sign? Yay!
Fantastic photos!
