The elevated viaduct in Seattle is slated to come down later this year. The views we will miss are not only of the water.

Driving into Seattle this afternoon from the north, the city and sky was bathed in beautiful sunset light.

Here’s a shot of Seattle approaching from the south, showing progress on the new tunnel construction. I think the yellow cylinders are where the tunnel boring started, moving north. At one time not so very long ago, the Smith Tower on the far right, the pointy one, was the tallest building in Seattle!
