I loved Seattle back in those days.😪
Thank you so much for sharing this documentary, it helps a lot understanding the history of early Seattle❤
Wow, I was working downtown when this was filmed. The city was so clean back then compared to now.
I arrived in Seattle from Philly in 1976, when this film was made, to visit a friend. I stayed 9 years. I still visit friends there and I generally think of those years in Seattle that's the best of my life. I am heartbroken as to the changes that have occurred in Seattle. The combination of cultural sophistication and rustic pioneer spirit that was present when I was there seems has changed - Seattle seems to have lost its soul. Thanks for the flood of nostalgia...
I live here right now, that spirit is definitely still there. In 2022 it definitely feels like seattle is healing a bit
Great story. When you describe Seattle as 'rustic' it makes me want to watch "Here Come the Brides" 😉
peattle is a shitbox now. politics/ZOGchilds is why-100%.
6 Generations of Seattleites in my family! My Great Grandfather lost a business in the fire. But reinvented himself many times over.
My Gr Uncle sold the property to LC Smith who built what is now the Smith Tower. And my Gr Grandfather Richard T. Shannon had Grocery, produce, fruit, and confectionery stores in downtown Seattle. As well as Vaudeville Theaters. He also owned and operated the Brooklyn Hotel on 2nd Avenue which is still standing to this day and operates as the Brooklyn-Seafood and Steakhouse.
Do you know if your oldest generations of Seattleites were racists or not?
@@5plus9equals7 they most likely %100 were!!
@@5plus9equals7 You sound like a racist for asking that question.
What an awesome story ! You should make a TH-cam chronology video. In a very close time period, all 4 of my grandparents moved to Seattle, from Grand Junction CO. The maternal couple and the paternal individually we're all asked the same question: "How are you going to protect yourselves from the tribes of wild Indians" circa 1930
@@5plus9equals7 are you studying inherited anomalies?
Hit your joint every time he says "Seattle".
I love the music juxtaposed with all this old footage!
When I was a kid back in the 70s, the Seafirst Building ("The box the Space Needle came in") and the Bank of California building were the only buildings in the downtown area noticeably taller than Smith Tower. Today, it seems like there are about 20 such structures.
My grandma always called it 'the box the space needle came in', too. =D
Yep .the box is what my grandma called it too...wow... nostalgia like gangbusters 🤠
the image stabilization in this is a trip
I was ,eight years old kid when you, shot your film.
I've lived in Seattle for almost 20 years now, but I never knew how much this was a "man-made city".
Who'd you think made it? lol
@@Azlorn hahaha
Since I was born at Northgate Mall, and Seattle's been my home for nearly 60 years, there's something I've always wondered: When Seattle was in it's infancy, and people describe the boardwalks and city infrastructure, where did the money come from ?
Great video, I love the early photographs, and I have several printed on canvas throughout my house. You can download photos from MOHI as well as the Seattle public library and the UW library
I believe that it came from lumber and the gold rush
You were born at the mall??
Thank you!
Fascinating!
Seattles first car, was electric (at 6:59) why does this not surprise me?
oil/greed/ZOG is why.
If you take a Ride the Ducks tour, you’ll learn that the first gas station was also invented here. Before the advent of pumps, people bought gas in glass jars like we might buy milk.
@@deviritter5232 now they buy glass pipes like we might buy milk
Oh I miss the King Dome!
Me too...I loaded some of the concrete after they blew it up..then used it to mix in with my foundation when I built my house in Black Diamond. As a kid I never would have guessed pieces of the Kingdome would become part of my home. Go Mariners ⚾
Me too
what is the music? edit: Tom Collier, Cheryl Collier, Dan Dean
kurt would have been 9 years old during this
Luke B Cobain?
back then, only a male could order a bride.
and this is after they tried to burn the entire city to the ground...great work!...LUV BEAGS 🐶
I miss how Seattle used to be, before the leftists migrated here from CA and ruined the quality of life. Seattle is sadly now a leftist Mecca full of homelessness and drug addiction everywhere. But thanks for the view of Seattle’s better days.
Because of course Reagan's trickle down economics has nothing to do with the economic breakdown of the entire country's prosperity.
Read, think and learn before speaking please.
@@stepawayful Reagan hasn't been in office for 30 years. You're a lost cause.
@@neil2831 learn about economics, politics and history before berating someone. Stay in school kids or you'll end up like this mess. Oh you're a troll, it seems. 2 comments in total and both are sad, lame insults. 🤣🤣
Leftists have lead Seattle since the 60’s.
Peattle*, you mean. and don't leave out ZOGchilds being the main reason Seattle is a shitbox
I found James Hills law book in an abandon pioneer square building in the mid 80's
No... nobody wanted them... I tried to explain what I had,...
M of h&i didn't listen they were bulldozed in a lower Queen Anne residence
in 1990, and sent to a landfill. like most of the , my citys history
garbage to those with money... there was a dairy on 6th and pike that few
care to remember.... We are all garbage at this rate...
forget your blue sky and open spaces... that shit don't sell disposable merchandise.
Nice knowing you Seattle. .x.
That's tragic
the kingdome/space needle was seattle.....not these phony corp sellout stadiums
