A section of the Interurban Trail, not as scenic as the Green River Trail, that is straight and flat. A large portion of the Green River Trail is closed due to flood abatement efforts. The trail has turned into a six foot wall of sandbags covered in black plastic.

“No Limit, No Returns”
Spotted in Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. Due to being in Portland the past few days I have not been able to post. As evidenced by this I appear to be back in Seattle.

First Hill, Seattle
There are some interesting brick buildings on 12th Ave. on First Hill in Seattle. Some have sadly fallen prey to graffiti, posters and more.
Fading Ad
I spent a couple of hours in a small, 2 block area of First Hill in Seattle the other day. I was attracted to the area due to the large number of brick buildings. The specific area I was in was between Union and Pike on 11th and 12th Ave. On 11th and Union I came across this ‘fading ad’. There is a posting, I discovered, on another blog from 2009 with a photo of a much less faded H.W. Baker Linen Co. I looked into the company and apparently they still exist in New Jersey, but have long since vacated Seattle. As I finished taking this photo I heard a voice behind me blurt out: “What are you taking a photo of?” At first I ignored the voice. She again asked her question. This time I turned around, to find a smallish women about my age with a tripod strapped to her back. Apparently she had shot this fading ad quite a few times and really likes to keep track of it as it fades in time. I’m not sure what relevance this has to the overall experience of shooting the ad, but…..there you have it.
Going South?
Found this discarded sign along the railroad tracks in Georgetown.
