Another Church

On June 19, 2011 By Fred KingIn buildings, Church, SeattleLeave a comment

From the rooftop of the Pemco parking garage on Eastlake Ave. another church comes into view. The cream colored building with the curved roofline used to be the Seattle School District‘s warehouse. Years ago I worked in this building for about 3 weeks one summer as I was going through a rather extended time between jobs. I worked swing shift with one other employee, who I rarely saw until the end of the shift, around 11:30pm each night.

I think this is a Russian Orthodox Church, but could be Greek.

From south of Lake Union, looking at Queen Ann Hill, Seattle. This was shot from the top of the Pemco parking garage on Eastlake Ave. I only had a 55mm lens in the car to use. Not the best lens for the situation.

I guess one question would be ‘Why’? Another might be ‘When will it be improved’?

Raised Garden Boxes

Someone has invested space and resources to lay out this raised box farm. This space used to have a more traditional urban garden that, over the past couple of years, had been in decline. The wood and angle iron used in these boxes is a serious investment. They have even shaped the boxes to fit the plot of land. I am really impressed.

It is rose season here in the NW. Portland is having its annual Rose Festival this week. So, I may be posting a variety of roses over the next couple of weeks.
