Local Stuff and Odds & Ends from the Pacific Northwest

LOCAL STUFF-- More stuff hard to classify-- the famous "Hat and Boots" gas station in three locations, the original in the mid 1980s, when it was used for skateboarding, and now in a local park in Seattle, a mythical site called North Wind’s Fish Weir (the first rapids on the Duwamish River, and part of the mythology of the Duwamish Indians), a pigment source in north Seattle at Licton Springs park, and the view from a now fallen water tower on Finn Hill looking east toward the Totem Lake area and the main drainage of Juanita Creek in 1965. You can compare it to a photo taken in December 06 from a slightly lower elevation; the same elevation would now required a helicopter as the old water tower is long gone. Additional photographs from east of the mountains and other places in the Pacific Northwest are more hard to classify photographs.
