Seattle September 3, 2004 These photos were selected from over 300 that were taken during a walk from my hotel, near the Seattle Center and the Space Needle, down to the waterfront on the Puget Sound, and through downtown's Central Business District. A helicopter takes off from the news channel headquarters next to my hotel room. Heading south through Downtown on Interstate 5 - Two Union Square The walk begins. A few subtle car wash signs near Denny Way. Heading toward the Puget Sound Looking southeast: the skyline stands above Alaskan Way, at the edge of the Puget Sound Looking back to the northwest toward the Space Needle Facing due north above Alaskan Way Continental Place, the tallest all-residential tower in the city at 349 ft. Qwest Field Port of Seattle US Bank Centre (left, 580 ft, #6 in city - I'm not counting the Space Needle), Two Union Square (with Flag, 740 ft, #3), and two others whose names I can't find. Further south in downtown, including the famous Smith Tower (far right) Down to Alaskan Way and walking southeast Washington Mutual Tower (many more photos of this building to come) Looking across Alaskan Way I don't know what this thing is.
