such a terrible and thoughtless act that has happened to a once great city now populated with MONEY HUNGRY TYRANTS THAT HAVE NO REGUARD FOR HISTORIC VALUES
@@spenceredford4403 Everything is built for money, even a building that isn't intended to advertise as such. Fun and games lead to money one way or another. I think what Stan is trying to point out is the fact that Seattle used to be a livable city, one in which homelessness wasn't a city-wide contagion, policy makers actually used their brains, and the people cared more about hard work than their latest selfie. Don't bother replying btw I really don't care
Greed is good, transformation is good. Sure some deserving buildings need to be protected. Greed =$$$ and that means big money will move homeless criminals out!
This is SO awesome, I enjoyed Part 2 as well. I would love to know more about how you came up with this and also about you. You have done such a great job! Well done! Best regards, Damie Rodriguez
Great video young man. I am a Californian but still found this very interesting. I also love seeing really old pictures of my home town and comparing them to today. If I can make a suggestion is to hold your shots of the old stuff a few seconds longer so we can get more detail. You seem to have a love for history. Don’t ever loose that. Keep up the good work. You have a bright future.
Thank you very much! I am glad you watched my video. I have realized that my shots are too fast. So next time I will be more careful shooting a video. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks so much for this vid! I just loved my old school Seattle. Yeah, vividly remember the old Olympic Hotel, being blown down that day, to make way for the First Interstate national Bank, now called: (Wells Fargo Center) after they bought it.
Joe Olive Yep, that is right. :--) You're lucky that you go to live during a great time in Seattle and America. America went seriously downhill when 9/11 happened. Thank you for watching my videos.
Great Video, I grew up in the PNW on Whidbey Island. I remember an older Gentleman talking about the Smith Tower rand how it was (when built) was the tallest building West of the Mississippi River. Just a thought.
I miss when there were buildings built with esthetics in mind, not just "how high & how cheaply can I build." Architects seemed to put a soul into a building & one felt bad when they came down because they knew what was going to replace it without even seeing the blueprints.
So, the photo of the Kingdome is more accurately dated as late 70s, early 80’s. The Kingdome was opened for business in 1976, coinciding with the NFL expansion team, Seattle Seahawks.
