When Rip Van Winkle awoke in the U-District last
week, it was disorienting to see all the new buildings going up where familiar
landmarks used to be. Walking through the ‘hood this week, I found a spot on heavily trafficked Banner Way Northeast that looks straight down toward the U-District a couple of
miles to the south. I counted five big yellow birds on the horizon.
For reference, I labeled UW Tower (formerly Safeco Tower and formerly the tallest building in the U-District) and the spire of Blessed Sacrament Church, which I’ve sketched a few times. Also for reference are the triple radio towers on Capitol Hill another few miles to the south.
Imagine what it will look like when those yellow cranes are done!
