The room that I work in is huge, and most of it’s being used to store furniture at the moment. Every few days some of the furniture is moved out or shuffled around, and I’ll take a few minutes when it’s slow to go through some of the cabinets looking to see what supplies were left behind when the previous tenants left.
Most of what I find is general office and printing stuff, some of which I can use for my job, some of which I can’t. Yesterday, however, I found an old box of slides.
I can’t be sure when they were taken, but the date stamp on the slides from when they were developed is April of 1979. Most of the slides were horribly overexposed and unuseable, but seven of them were good.
They appear to be a small group of people admiring the view out of their window towards the top of the office building I work in at Seventh and Pine. Their view looks to the east over I-5 and up towards Capital Hill. Kind of fun to be able to get a glimpse of part of Seattle from around twenty-five years ago.
The seven slides that were good have been scanned and uploaded to Flickr.
