Apparently the gum wall has made it into guidebooks. When I lived 200 feet down Post Alley in the 90s, it was a minor thing (in size and popularity) with occasional tourists. Now it seems to have a mini-cluster all the time.

As for the "summer crush," the Market, the waterfront, the Seattle Center, and the Retail District do get a lot busier in the summer. The Market gets particularly nuts. I pride myself in being able to get through any crowd quickly, but even I'd need 20-30 minutes to walk the three block main hallway right now.

^ Pike Market and the Westlake retail district were definitely hot spots constantly bustling with activity.

I was also very impressed with the quality of new buildings in Capitol Hill and Belltown with their integration of engaging forms of retail usages. Great pedestrian streetscape interaction.

I'm guessing the city wasn't your only crush.

Personally Seattle is one of my favorite cities and those pictures did a great job of showing off the city.

Really nice.

I like trolleybuses, big old buildings and prewar skyscrapers, small alleys etc. etc.

It's nice to have that good city as a sister city

^ Condon Hall at the University of Washington. Formerly housed the UW Law School.

I forget what the horrible things the law school students/staff used to call it...

^ A friend who went there said the students believed the building had been designed to help them understand what it would be like to be in jail.

I think it's actually a pretty interesting example of that style but I never had to spend much time in it.
