About a year ago* this ship was pushed into this moorage location adjacent to a metal scrapyard on the Duwamish River in South Park ( South Seattle). Since that time the scrapyard has ceased being a viable business and the property has been cleared, few reminders of the scrap business. What will become of this rusty, abandoned ship is a mystery at this point in time. There is an ongoing effort to clean up the river that has been going on since the EPA declared the area a SuperFund site back in the 1970’s, the first such declaration by the EPA.
*I just happened to be at this location to watch the ship being pushed by two small tugs into this spot. I have been shooting this location regularly for the past few years, documenting the major changes that are ongoing.
A look at a small creek in Renton, WA. shared by spawning salmon and ducks. This urban creek looks very polluted with oil runoff from nearby streets and parking lots. I don’t think the salmon made it much further. When the salmon change color it means they are in rapid decline and better find a place to spawn soon.
The new North Span of the 14th St. Bridge (South Park) is in place, vertically. The new bridge is coming along. Other images of working vessels of one type or another. Barges are loaded with just about anything you can imagine, trucks, cars, boats containers, etc and take the cargo north to Juneau, AK.
At the start of the Cedar River Trail. New Boeing planes with the protective wrap, a heron and a view of the Renton section of the river looking south.
