Anyway...GREAT POST!
They always post celcius... most of us just don't know what the hell the celcious temperature means. "Okay... does that mean it's cold or warm outside?" At least it's foreign to me.

I love the views there (I'm on the 10th floor, on the corner visible in your photo). That beautiful tiled dome of First Presbyterian is really in your face. At sunset it looks like you're in Rome or something. The views of Wright Park and and the businesses all along Tacoma Ave are also cool.

It's funny, most of the residents want the waterside views, but I prefer the parkside (it's also warmer and sunnier).

Just PM me when you plan on being in town...your more than welcome to shoot away.

DKT: I think I know what you're saying. We know it's cold out, but go running and screaming "What does this mean???" when we see 1c

Hood: Thank you thank you! Sounds like some good views. I'll message you.

i agree. if the city initiated a beautification project along the freeway, more people might pull off the road for a looksee. i'm usually turned off by all the strip malls along the way to go into the city proper. maybe i'll take a day trip up there.

Hey, happy I could shed light on the city. Do stop to check out the funky, spunky, scrappy, victorian, industrialist vibe behind the revitalization.

Its coming along again. Its got a certain charm that cant be found in seattle-bellevue. Heres hoping the crime rates drop a little more.
