6:56 Ivar's!

@27:30 Is that a Cybertruck?! :D

Id say the city was more interesting and engaging before. It had more character

6:03 Metallica played 3/17/85 and I was there.

Ah yes, the Freemason’s version of Seattle history that covers up the “ excavation “ project which uncovered the downtown area from many feet of mud and soil from a previous cataclysm that DID occur worldwide and is why we see underground levels to all these old cities that ARE much older than they tell us. Do you believe a very small population of citizens at the turn of the century could ever construct these absolutely massive, ornate, BRICK AND STONE buildings when only a fraction of this small population would be involved in the construction. Where did all the tons of brick and stone block come from and did a donkey and wagon transport these TONS of material on mud sodden roads?!?? The amount of time we are given for the building’s completion dates are IMPOSSIBLE given these factors. You will also notice nearly all of these old world buildings have doorways capable of a 12 ft tall person to enter with ceilings equally accommodating. Why? The answer is obvious. We DID have giants living amongst us and very old photos prove this common theme.

Seattle Archives! A list of the building and approximate addresses or street corners would be very useful. Also, is this really 1976? The Kingdome opened that year, but here it looks only half-finished. Great content, though.

And now the whole city's a toilet

The Denny Hotel looked magnificent. I don't think the trade was worth the loss.

Could you imagine how beautiful that mountain with a Vast park and huge trees would be. Those financial companies could have worked around that Mountain ! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭✨✨✨

I once came across another channel that suggested all of this work was done hundreds of years ago by a fictional empire called Tartaria. Absolutely ridiculous!

Seattle. The land of never ending road construction.

Thanks for the history I wondered how all that happened

I'm still mad about the arrogance of the people who decided that Seattle's beautiful geography "needed" to be altered. The regrade area is a flat wasteland. What a sad loss for Seattle. Excellent film though and thank you for posting.

I just need to say, this is some of the best footage I've ever seen

How did they build that hotel on the top of denny hill if there were no roads going to it? It is very grand.

Why did you hit the image stabilization button?? Idiotic

tell everyone the July 23 council meeting will be a meet my neighbors hilarity fest.

I'm guessing the guy is a reporter setting up a place to stand for a remote, likely taped broadcast?

without that you wouldn't have the kingdome or baseball stadium or even Boeing field.

Where is that absolutely beautiful city of Seattle so many still remember. It is heartbreaking what has become of what was I believe America's most magnificent city.... the Emerald City!

Cool video! Looks like a great training program!

Holy crap! It's DB Cooper!

SAM moved into the old J.C. Penny's so what is the old art museum now?

Back in world war II japan did launch incendiary ballons to the united states.when they crashed would explode some made it crashed in the pacific north west and western Canada started forest fires..........

Good video clip. rare find. in order to get there those kids had to have their stuff together..clean records, no arrest or dope.Had to be top shelf. as it should be!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I are over 65 years old and three (3) of our Adult children and 2 grand children also live here. So why were we encouraged to go all Electric years ago because Hyro power was touted to be so inexpensive. Well shame on us because even though we have Natural Gas Heat and Natrual Gas Dryers. our Electric Bill forces us to make Serious decisions about food, Health Care or Electricity. You can't use Solar as a fallback position to mitigate the cost of Electricity. I am 76 years old and according to the Solar sales people we wouldn' t have to pay anything for Solar until 17 years in the future , by then I suspect I would be pushing up Daises and my wife would be left holding the bag. Is lying the way you go, or should I search out an outlet for Buffalo Chips to fix your problem.

Fabulous !

I've always wondered how Seattle and many places in the eyes of my grandparents and great grandparents looked. Nowadays, 1980s Seattle/Washington is considered antique compared to today. Thanks for the awesome footage!

I lived on Bainbridge Island 1973 and 1974, just opposite of Seattle. The ferry ride to this great city was always a joy. Many times we could observe a school of orcas crossing the ferry´s path. The video shows Seattle like I used to know it - thanks!

Wow, I was working downtown when this was filmed. The city was so clean back then compared to now.

5:17 Imagine the elevator actually doing that jolting 😂

People back then always sound illiterate and speak like little kids. The choice of words and sentences.

I miss home so much ! Been living in Hawai'i for the last ten years, and it SUCKS ! When it's time to retire, I'll be back!

I was a Pony Club member in the 1960's. Great memories. Never would we ride 3 on a donkey or pony like that shown

Thanks for that I'm a kid and I'm going to a firefighter 🚒

wich year is this?

I went to visit Seattle from the East Coast in 1976 right after college - a friend had invited me. I ended up staying 9 years and consider those probably the best years of my life. Talk about powerful emotions as I see this movie filmed the year I arrive there. Sadly, I'm one of those who feels Seattle lost its soul with the influx of big tech and the multitude who came not for the place but for the money. When I arrived there in 1976, Seattle had been voted the most livable city in the United States. It sure ain't anymore... Thanks for posting this.

yes this is fascinating / wondering if any landslides happened due to rainfall

Ha

Electric shovels. Interesting

The Condome aka Kingdome. Really suppose to be an Urchin.

The best part is my guy at the end struggling with the brace and bit. Thank god for cordless drills

I believe this is the side of Beacon Hill looking north. If that is the case, this would be about 1965

This was illuminating.

I was up there today. Great info on the bypass reach.

11:15....the Seattle art museum in volunteer park....I lived right down the street on Capitol Hill and would walk there often in the early 1970s...saw so many great musicians and concerts in my time in Seattle...graduated UW 1975

Wonderful historic of old Seattle! (Audio is so quiet I had to turn on closed captioning.)

0:31 back in the day city leaders had no problem building a Light Rail Line from downtown Seattle to downtown Everett. Yet today Sound Transit still hasn’t done this & never had any intention of honoring their promise & instead Snohomish County taxpayers were swindled by Sound Transit to subsidize the cost of building Light Rail to Redmond & putting trains over tje floating bridge which required billions more in R&D because the bridge was never designed for trains & heavy rail. So far they are constructing 4 miles into Snohomish County to Lynnwood. Despite the fact there are existing rail lines crossing the Snohomish River to Woodinville from Snohomish, Sound Transit need only build another mile to extend rail from Redmond to Snohomish where another railroad grade acts as the centennial trail which ends at Skagit County which could easily at affordable cost take Light Rail to Arlington which is a fast growing area for industry & future housing. Sound Transit, it seems would rather build unaffordable transit with plans geared towards Seattle & no concerns toward the counties who subsidize their poor planning.

Love being SHOUTED AT IN THE OPENING OF THIS CLIP IS THAT HOW ALL SEATTLE CITIZENS WERE TAUGHT TO WRITE? BY SCREAMING AT EVERYONE?! THATS FUCKED UP!
