Neighbors
One of the few Boeing buildings still in use at the company’s Plant II location. A few ducks cruising along the Duwamish River adjacent to the Boeing site.
After the Jump
Salmon are spawning in the Duwamish River. I hear them splash back in the water after jumping, but as of yet have not been able to catch one in the ‘act’.
Bridge Control Tower
Control Tower, now in demo, on 14th St. Bridge.
Supports
14th St. Bridge supports, cracks and all. Low tide reveals a few of the reasons this structure has become unsafe.
River Traffic
Marine traffic along the Duwamish. In the background is the very old Boeing Plant II. Used to be the Sheet Metal Shop until that moved to Auburn many years ago. I have a feeling the buildings are empty as Boeing and the City of Seattle have come to some agreement as to what to do with the land and how to deal with the environmental issues. A lot of history in this Plant. Boeing’s footprint in the NW Region is getting smaller and smaller as the company continues to outsource.
Pilings
What’s left of a pier or dock along the Duwamish River.
Skywatch Friday
A view northward along the Duwamish River in Seattle.
Morning Bath
Taking a bath in the Duwamish River.

Awaiting Demolition
The 14th Street Bridge in South Park (Seattle) has been left in the upright position awaiting demolition.
Low Tide
At low tide on the Duwamish River even small, pleasure boats seem to stir up the muck, for lack of a better word. You can see discoloration in the wake as it reaches shoreline.
Duwamish River Panorama
This is a panorama image looking north towards the 1st. Ave. bridge. Again, this is a small file so please click on image to enlarge.
Yakima River Footbridge
Not for the faint of stomach, this cable suspension footbridge sways and bounces with each step. Fly fishing is very popular on the Yakima River.
Mood on the River
A section of blue sky reflected in the river. The mood along the river seemed to change suddenly. A partially cloudy morning turned into a steel-gray morning with the wind causing ripples on a calm river. Despite a few garbage cans close by trash seems to accumulate. To me the cement blocks are more of a reminder of an earlier time when pollution of every sort could be found in and around the Duwamish River.
