Seattle Tours
Some notes on wandering around Seattle and environs.Friday, April 20, 2007
Things come and go
Today I saw that they were destroying the old Teamsters building on Denny near Aurora. That had been their home since around WWII, through much of the Dave Beck era, etc. They sold the building and moved to Tukwila a year ago or so. The building was vacated and fenced off and it was just a matter of time ‘til the claw came. Glad I got to pay some last respects.
Later I went to Magnolia to the site of the 1997 Perkins Lane landslide, one of my favorite places in the city. It had changed quite a bit since last year, due to November and December’s big storms. Lots of clay moved.
