Across
from the bar was a Club area with a number of small areas for
conversation or relaxation.
|
|
|
I
thought it was lovely - a remarkable renovation.
|
|
|
On
the main desk was a decoration of old collars while in the background
were shelves full of old hats.
|
|
|
The
wall was filled with photographs of club members. One of them, U.S.
Representative Marion Zioncheck (age 35)
leaped to his death from his 5th-floor office on August 8, 1936.

Next,
Tim and I meandered down to Pioneer Square for a quick visit to
the Fire
Festival. We were too early to watch any Firemen Games, but
we enjoyed very much the Antique Fire Engines..
|
|
|
I've
only put three photos on, but there were lots, from the Last
Resort Fire Department.
|
|
|
Because
the competitions weren't to begin for another couple of hours, we
kept going.
|
|
|
Next
we had a quick peep into the old King
Street Station. Over 100 years old, the station is 'served
by Amtrak Cascades, Empire Builder, and Coast Starlight lines and
by Sound Transit's Sounder commuter trains'. It was actually
very busy when we were there, and difficult to take pictures because
of the crowds.
|
|
|
Now
we climb King Street, heading for the International
District Summer Festival.
