Grafitti Sampling
From an outing a few weeks ago at the rail yard in South Seattle.
Graffiti Art
Some of the graffiti art along the RR tracks on Airport Way So., Seattle.
Walking the RR Tracks
Location: Rail road tracks that run parallel to Airport Way So. in Georgetown , Seattle. There’s a blast of steam in the middle of the image coming from a small industrial building. Downtown Seattle in the distance.
More of the graffiti to follow in future posts.

The House on the Hill: Pt. II
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.
The Coverup
I’ve done many posts on tagging, graffiti and street art in general. I thought it was time to give some space to the coverup effort that sometimes follows.
Costly Manhattan Parking
This Jeep has Canadian plates that expired in 2006. I would guess there is an interesting story behind this vehicle and how it got here, in the LES. The sign on the left say: “Active Driveway”. With the barbed wire, I think not.
