UPDATED 6/9/08: Cliffe, from VintageSeattle.org, commented on this post that there’s a new skyline post on his blog from 1979. So, look at the four skyscrapers Seattle had just 30 years ago.

Also, for the hell of it, an art deco version of Seattle:

As (essentially) a Portlander, I didn’t really know Seattle had grown so fantastically.

It also reminds me I’ve slouched on my RSS reading that I’d miss something so awesome from Vintage Seattle.
