This is the coolest collection of random, old Seattle photos we’ve ever stumbled upon while not working at work. For anyone who can’t imagine 3rd and Pine before crack, or the masochistic liberal who wants to marvel at a time when people would have paraded massive, old growth firs down the street in celebration, this is your time capsule.

If you like slacking off at work or just appreciate a little cultural history, these photographs from the Museum of History and Industry are certainly worth a glance.
