Summer! by p.folrev from the Seattlest Flickr pool.
Splashing around Seattle's midsummer weekend
It was the best of times, it was the hottest of times.
Cool It!
Last night, fanless in our excessively hot apartment, Seattlest resorted to sticking our head and shoulders in the freezer for a good five minutes. We then sat on the floor holding a cold bottle of water against the back of our neck. We're terrified of turning on the stove, lest we just burst into flames. All this, and we grew up in Florida, where these temperatures would be considered charming spring weather.
Seattle Skyline, August, 1907
We probably don't have to tell you how awesome Vintage Seattle is. But they've outdone themselves today, posting their "most epic Seattle skyline Panorama-o-rama" yet. It's a glorious 5-mile view of the Seattle skyline back when the Alaska Building was the tallest building in town—and yes, we had to look that up. (Then came the Hoge Building, then Smith Tower, for all you architecture wonks.)
