today amanda and i babysat the little kids from our homeschool group. they were all so cute and active, running and jumping around the park. i miss the days when i was like that.
that reminds me... SATs on the fifth of june. most of the little kids today won't have to worry about SATs for another decade and a half or so.

In 1903 (see comments), we look out over the steep south face of Queen Anne Hill towards downtown Seattle. Much of it is obscured in mist, but the Denny Hotel can be seen poking out of the later flattened Denny Hill just in front of uptown and downtown Seattle. To the right, Elliott Bay looks a bit odd because Harbor Island does not yet exist and the Duwamish still runs its natural course.
The Now photo is taken just a bit downhill. Then, Queen Anne development was still pushing into difficult terrain. The Counterbalance streetcar had yet to make just made this side of Queen Anne truly accessible with more frequent streetcar service. The Olmsted Brothers took the photo while surveying Seattle for vistas and open space that should be saved as parks.
Now, buildings and trees block the view from the original vantage at the south end of Tower Place, so I'm down a couple blocks on Warren and Ward. The power lines above me can be seen to the left side of the Then photo, running down Warren.
