My second visit to the House on the Hill in South Park, Seattle. Due to waist-high debris it was impossible to get more than a couple of feet inside the house. The interior is severely burned; it smells and is very unsafe. On the outside there is broken glass everywhere in addition to piles of debris. At one time this was a house with a view of Downtown Seattle in the distance as well as the Duwamish River nearby. I don’t know what “Skin Trap House” means, so if anyone has any ideas…. feel free to comment. The ground floor of the interior looks more like a dumping ground than anything else; perhaps after the fire people just repurposed the house? A good percentage the debris is not fire damaged. The image of the stairs leading to the second floor I found most appealing and engaging.

House on a Hill
Sort of a creepy, abandoned house in South Park, Seattle. I hope to venture inside soon. If so, I will post what I find.
Before the Storm
View from a hill in South Park, Seattle, looking north with downtown Seattle in the background. Took this minutes before the storm hit. With no warning the wind and rain started and I had to abandon the shoot.More photos from this hill in the following days.
Triangle Building
I’ve always been fascinated by this building in the Georgetown neighborhood of South Seattle. Also, the two old street lamps add something to the ambience. One day I will have to talk my way into the building just to have a look/see.
In the Background
The Brooklyn Bridge in the far background.
Old and New
The Columbia Tower, on the left, and Smith Tower on right, at dusk. I was quite a distance from the subjects, but used a 70mm-200mm lens. Still lacking some detail I was hoping for.
Triangle Building
Located in the Seattle neighborhood of Georgetown .
Seattle at Dusk
I-5 curves its way through Seattle on the East side of the core downtown area.
Garfield School: 1970 and Today
Scanned from a 35mm print taken in 1970; just below Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, is the Garfied School. In the far background you can see the Golden Gate Bridge. The other two images show the Garfield School today, officially named Garfield Elementary School. Adjacent to the school you can see a two-tiered outdoor playground (with students playing) for the students.
Signage, Old and New
Alberta Rexall Drugs: the building is now a cafe with apartments upstairs and a tattoo shop adjacent to the cafe. Glad they have left the neon sign, a reminder of the past.
Location: Alberta St., Portland, OR.
