Wagons in vintage Street scenes

With at least 3 hearses in a row, it must have been quite a big funeral

 

Ah, Seattle, the now-gone Alaskan Way Viaduct.



This was the last section to be brought down, at the Colman ferry terminal.

 

So it's all gone now? They still had quite a bit to do last time I was there, but that was almost three months ago.
It's going to be interesting to see how it changes things down there.

 

1) it went fast; 2) Alaskan Way is gonna get totally redone, but how, no one has decided yet; 3) the building owners along the Way are doubled over in ecstasy as their buildings' relative worths skyrocket. The fricking city had better hit those owners with new tax levels to pay at least part of the Way's rehab, because a lot of people didn't like to help pay for the tunnel underneath.

 

I was sure of #3.

 

Everybody was sure of (but not publicly acknowledging) #3.

 

Not surprised.
