In the Skagit Valley, 60 miles north of Seattle, there are a scattering of abandoned farms.

Intent to Demolish

This building, in NE Portland, is slated to be demolished soon. I looked in a window and could see that the interior, due to a leaky roof, has lots of black mold. The building is located in a residential area, but may at one time been a commercial venture. My guess would be that some developer will build a couple of houses on the lot. Keep you posted.

Recently visited the Skagit Valley. We discovered some more abandoned houses, barns and outbuildings that I will be sharing in the coming weeks.

Skagit Valley: Abandoned#3

Color versions of previous images. With color you can see the tonal variations in the corrugated roof ( as well as the geometry of lines) and the shades of rust to the right of the doorway above. I like seeing the partial windows in the background; adds some sort of depth, but leads nowhere. Well, just some random thoughts. I rarely comment on the images I post. I would rather the images spoke for themselves, but today I felt like sharing my impressions:-).

Fisher Flour Mill ( Con’t., still )

More vegetation in odd places,, broken windows and signage. Apparently King County Solid Waste Management Division is the current owner. On my to-do list is to find a contact inside the organization to field some of my questions.

Camera that could be operational. Space between buildings and vegetation that seems to grow in the oddest of places.

Peeling paint, rusting pipes and just the odd rip rap left behind.

Inside the Fisher Flour Site

The floor boards were so spongy I had to walk on the planks. When I posted this image on Flickr I referred to it as a “creepy corridor”.

The abandoned Fisher Flour Mill on Harbor Island in Seattle. This time I went inside the compound ( I think it is called trespassing ) so will be posting some images caught during that visit.
