Title: Historic photos
Post by: Bruce on May 09, 2021, 06:21:29 PM
Figured I should start a separate thread to dump the occasional pre-digital photo.

Here's a 1987 aerial of the I-90 floating bridges from the Seattle Municipal Archives, showing the westbound Homer Hadley span under construction. The original eastbound Murrow span would eventually be rebuilt after partially sinking in 1990.

And a 1930s view of Aurora Avenue through Woodland Park:
