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

Abandoned Seattle Brewery

I’ve posted some images, in the past, taken at the Seattle Brewery site in Georgetown ( Seattle ). These two images represent some of the reworking of images from a couple of years ago.

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:-).

Abandoned farm buildings just outside of LaConner, WA.

Skidmore St. Cast-offs

Some of the odd items spotted along Skidmore St., NE Portland. I did pick up the syringe (diabetic?) and dispose of it later. It’s so infuriating to find stuff like a syringe that could be so dangerous to humans of all ages, but especially children. That is my rant for the day.

John Palmer House

Located on Mississippi St., in NE Portland. The front gate is padlocked and bushes, as you can see, cover the view of most of the front of the house now. I’m not sure if tours are conducted or if the house is just closed up. It is on the National Historic Registry.

Rusty Structure

Sections of an old train trestle along the Cedar River that is now used as a footpath.

Two Views

Two views from behind the main complex of buildings that was the Fisher Flour Mill. The ‘mud’ puddle was more than just water and dirt. The green, slimey stuff gave off a really nasty odor, very reminiscent of the Gowanus Canal smell I have experienced. Like death, it is a very unique smell that you never forget.

Electrical conduit to nowhere and a crumbling pier-shot through a cyclone fence. Two of the cruise ships that travel from Seattle to Alaska every summer are in the background.

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.
