Going Up

October 16th, 2009

In the heart of downtown Seattle, there is a brick building which will soon be towered over by a new developing sky scraper. As I was walking by, I was struck by the shear size of development which has taken place over the last century. Buildings which once were the prize of their day, the Smith building, are now dwarfed by buildings two to three times their size. Even the Columbia Tower building is 3/4 the size of the former World Trade Center in NYC. At 80 stories it towers over Seattle and our bit of metropolia here in the northwest.

Standing Stones

October 12th, 2009

What a view! I decided to visit a common stomping ground for me in Snoqualmie Falls. The fall is why many decide to call the northwest home. With the changing of colors and crisp cool air, it seems many feel invigorated by the change of seasons.

Blue Seat Special

October 9th, 2009

As the fall comes into full swing, for those of us who are sports fans, October represents the best month of the year. Hear in the northwest we have our own fall sports to be proud of, The Seattle Seahawks. The 12th Man has become a nationwide phenomenon, with Qwest Field being known as the loudest stadium in the world. Recently I took a tour of the stadium and saw it fitting as we head into a weekend home game, come Sunday, these blue seats will be filled with thousands of dedicated fan cheering on their team in frigid conditions.
