The Seattle Post Intelligencer Newspaper Neon sign. Always reminded me of Superman and Clark Kent.
The 30-foot steel globe consists of two hemispheres joined at the equator. Pacific Car and Foundry and Electrical Products Consolidated (maker of Kenworth trucks) built the globe in 1948 at a cost of nearly $26,000. The slogan, "It's in the P-I," is mounted on a raceway that revolves around the globe. Capital letters are 8 feet tall; small letters are 5 feet tall. The eagle that perches atop the globe is 18.5 feet tall.
Wow thats a brilliant globe you must be able to see it for miles .by the way my birth day is 23rd august ,I did say the flowers from my brother were late !
Something that the locals always take for granted. For as many times I was at the Center for T-Birds games, I never thought to take a shot of the globe. Good work.
@cirasj No, you have to go into the city and go towards Queen Anne Hill. It is located on the waterfront. You can see it on the way to the Seattle Center. It faces the Puget Sound off of Western Ave.
Just after sunset's the best time to take 'night' photos, as there's still colour in the sky, just like this. in response to your question, i was actually the other side of the canal!
