And yes, that's the one I think looks like many ocean liners lined up...loved walking through it.

It does look a bit like the sides of ships when you are walking by them. The photo I took was from above so it has a little different effect. The park has just been open since January so that was the first time I had seen it. Some of the artwork is rather interesting.

The land that it was built on was a tank farm for many years. There was a long cleanup process before they could use the property.

Here is a look at the Experience Music Project from above.
It is an interesting looking building from any angle.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure I'll enjoy Seattle. Just wish I had more than two (02) days.

We only had 2 days in Seattle and it sure wasn't enough for me!!

Have fun, it's a very interesting and artsy (is that a real word?) type city. I loved it!

SJ, they had a big article on the park in the San Francisco travel section, and I'd wanted to go ever since....

Just the kind of urban project I love. Bringing something new to a city, and erasing (bad pun) a blight!

I remember the erasers, too.

I am sure there were a number of developers that would have liked to build a highrise on the site. The north end of downtown is becoming a residential area. There is not much blight left downtown. Right now the south end of Lake Union is being transformed. The is also a new street car line being built in that area.

When I find my lost picture cd's (from moving) I will post some pictures I have of Seattle. I beleive there are a couple of Seattle pictures in the gallery.

This is one I had in the Members Gallery. It is listed with the Star Princess since that is the cruise we just got off of.
