Walking through the city

Walking through the city I saw this intersection and decided to take pictures in both directions. On the one hand there is this nicely shaped building with all those geometrical figures, and on the other side the crystal dome of the city's convention centre. Geometry and symmetry is everywhere in Seattle.

5th Ave In Seattle

Walking around downtown decided to take this picture to remind me we are in Spring even though we are still in the forties LOL.

Matador in Tacoma

This is a filtered picture I took a couple of weeks ago in Matador in Downtown Tacoma. It is a nice place when all you need is a drink to wind down.

Banana Republic

Walking close to the Convention Centre in Downtown Seattle I saw this peculiar building and decided to take pictures of it. It has a very stylish and decorated facade. Walking around it I realised it is the Banana Republic store.

Seattle's Best Coffee

I went to Seattle's Best Coffee and liked the contrast in colours, especially the red tones and decided to take these two pictures. The first one is not filtered, the second one is.

Downtown Seattle from Lake Union

This is the view from the roof top in the Arnold Building. :)

Crystal Cube

I was walking to the Terry Ave & Thomas St to take the Streetcar to Fred Hutchinson and saw this cube in a corner, part of the new buildings being built in the South Lake Union area. It reminds me of an ice cube, but I like the simplicity, practicality and yet beauty with which this building was designed. I also noticed, no wonder, that an architect's firm office takes the first two floors of the building.

Museum of Glass

There is a bridge that connects the Glass Museum with the University of Washington in Tacoma. The bridge's roof is all pieces of glass like these ones. It's really nice. :)

Museum of Glass

I also had the chance of walking around and go all the way to the Museum of Glass. I have always liked the shape of the building. I'm going to try and post a few more pictures I took here.

University of Washington - Tacoma Campus

I found myself walking around Downtown Tacoma today and saw the opportunity of taking this shot. I really like what the University of Washington has done by remodeling and maintaining the buildings in Tacoma. Used a couple of filters to get it looking like this. :)

This is what the new double deckers look like :)

Today, after work, I was waiting for my bus to go to King Street Station (the Sounder train) and saw this, a double decker from Community Transit (Snohomish & King Co Transit system) and took a picture of it. Who would have thought that we'd never have those in Western WA.

Reflections

Walking from the office to the train station I rarely look up, yet yesterday, as I did, this is what I captured, on a gray, typical Seattle day a cloud opened up a little bit and allowed the sun's light to be reflected on this building. It's located on Stewart Ave and 9th.

King Street Station

King Street Station at South Seattle. Close to the Qwest Field. A mixture between old and new.
