    I just returned to NJ from an 8 day trip to Olympia and Seattle. All thanks to your videos- I hiked up (partially lol) Mt. Rainier, visited Puget Sound in various locations, went to Snoqualmie Falls, and drove out the Olympic Peninsula. Your videos have sparked a newly found love and respect for geology, particularly the Pacific North West and I have decided to move to the Seattle area to further my education.... Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy the information and you deliver the content in a fantastic way.

      I’m not even a couple of minutes in and I have to pause and say this is seriously cool!
      I’ve been coming to Seattle for one reason or another, be it family or business since I was a boy, and I’ve always been fascinated by the place… Given my druthers I’d love to live there one day, but alas so expensive! This is truly one of the most beautiful cities on planet Earth… And some of the most unique people too… Cheers from California.

    Nick is the coolest guy ever. I took a couple of his classes at CWU about 8 years ago. I still tell/show people what I have learned from him almost every single day. What he has taught me has stuck with me. His knowledge is amazing :)

    Because of its hills, Seattle also had cable cars like those still operating in San Francisco. (So did nearby Tacoma, and for the same reason: Hills too steep for trolley cars.) Electric trolleys were used in flatter areas, but the cable cars stayed in use until all streetcars were replaced by buses in 1940 and 41. The last cable line ran on Yesler Way until the summer of 1940. If they had survived past World War II, Seattle's cable cars might have become a tourist attraction like San Francisco's. It should be noted that the cable car on display in the Smithsonian is a grip car from Yesler Way.

    so for Early (White Folks) Seattle, try the book "Pig-Tail Days in Old Seattle" by Sophie Frye Bass, Grand-daughter of Arthur Denny
    It was "Alki Point" pronounced "alkee" originally, that the Denny Party landed at from the Schooner Exact, but an overland relative had built a still-roofless cabin:
    "The women wept."
    Dutch farming Van Asselt and Mapel / Maple families were already around what is now Boeing Field,
    where the 1860s oxen-wagon grade route of Military Road was later made, Oregon to BC...
    In 1995 the wife and I were listening to the Mariners baseball game in the Kingdome, as announced by Dave Niehaus, when the earthquake hit
    Dave ran, leaving an open mic; the crowd gave a deep roar believing they were doomed; Ken Griffey Jr was pointing at his family to run out, "knowing" he could not escape from Center Field~~~
    So years later, I watched the Kingdome implosion, where the current Seahawks Stadium stands...
    Since 2001 Ash Wednesday Earthquake, I was involved in several Seismic Retrofit projects on Seattle buildings, learning a lot about pre-WW2 + pre-Great War construction methods and materials.

    hello from the eastern end of I-90----Boston Massachusetts. also a highly engineered city. we too have a drumlin field. and a beautiful harbor, the islands of which are the tops of drumlins. most of our drumlins survive though often in altered form. We also have a Beacon Hill, a combined morain and drumlin combined. our state house sits atop the hill which was lowered about 30 feet back in the 1700s and 1800s....
    enjoying this channel. I also have long been interested Glacial Lake Missoula and have watched your video on that incredible series of events.

    Old Settler's Song (Acres of Clams)" is a Northwest United States folk song written by Francis D. Henry around 1874. The lyrics are sung to the tune "Old Rosin the Beau." The song also goes by the names "Acres of Clams", “Lay of the Old Settler,” “Old Settler’s Song,” while the melody is known as “Rosin the Beau,” "Old Rosin the Beau," "Rosin the Bow," "Mrs. Kenny," "A Hayseed Like Me," "My Lodging's on the Cold, Cold Ground." The tune was also used for the song "Denver", which was recorded by The New Christy Minstrels in their 1963 album 'In Person'.
    The first recorded reference to this song was in the Olympia, Washington newspaper the Washington Standard in April 1877. Although no official record exists, "The Old Settler's Song" was thought to be the state song of Washington according to The People's Song Bulletin until it was decided the lyrics were not dignified enough.[1]
    The song achieved prominence decades later when radio-show singer Ivar Haglund used it as the theme song for his Seattle, Washington radio show. Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie said that they taught the song to Haglund. Haglund went on to name the Seattle restaurant "Ivar's Acres of Clams" after the last line from the ballad.[2]

    I love these videos, and thanks for continuing to make them! I will be glued to the I-90 series...I live in northern Idaho, just past Spokane. Been reading books about the ice age and ice dam that let loose all of great lake Missoula, which left a devastating torrent of destruction behind these regions. In my town of Post Falls, we have gravels 600 feet deep along the Rathdrum prairie, and anything native was completely flushed out by the floods.

    Love your channel, you are the second-greatest history-teacher I've had so far, and that is just to the credit of my grade-school teacher who was totally fantastic. You two shared the most important skill: making history and learning fun! Keep making these videos. Myself I come from the Baltic "High-coast" near Örnsköldsvik in sunny and warm (nooot) Sweden, where isostatic rebound makes the land rise between a centimeter and two inches every year, and resulting in steep coastal cliffs of some of the oldest granite on the planet. Do you have any such areas in the US west coast where you have large land-rise from isostatic rebound, or do you only get land-rise from oceanic subduction?

    Reasons why, among other things, the Puget Sound area has such an abundance of gravel. Big/huge gravel quarries all over the place, which also spawned many many cement factories. So if you want to build a house there's a huge abundance of concrete... AND billions of trees alongside the Cascade range.

    Love all your videos Nick! What would happen to the floating bridge, Interstate 90 if there was a 7.0 earthquake. Would it withstand all the shaking?

    Can fill compression be measured over time. The dynamics of faults are monitored why not fill compression using Porosity

    Good stuff! Looking forward to more episodes. What's the geology like at the base of white center hill (south park side)? Is white center hill a drumlin?

    • @Ellensburg44
      @Ellensburg44 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. Had to look up White Center...sure looks like your neighborhood is made of glacial deposits...drumlins made of till and outwash.

      When they bulldozed the projects, 8th and Roxbury sure looked like a drumlin. I’m curious about the top of the hill on 35th in High Point. Seems to have the same north-south orientation...
