Horizon House is located on one of Seattle's hills, and used to have excellent views over Elliot Bay until the tall office building boom of the 1980s arrived. The following are views from the building's 19th floor.
The northerly view shows Lake Union, better seen in
the following photograph. The gray building on the right is
a wing of Horizon House.
A closer view of Lake Union, on a Saturday evening in August, with quite a few pleasure craft on the water. Lake Union is also a float plane landing area.
The buildings blocking the view! Note also my reflection in the window - I was wearing a striped shirt.
A close up view between the buildings, showing what looks like a freighter on the Sound, and over to the Olympic Mountains.
Looking south, towards Mt. Rainier, and over St. James (Catholic) Cathedral and Harbor View Hospital.
A closer view of Harbor View and the cream coloured towers of St. James Cathedral on the far left.
An even closer view of Harbor View Hospital, with Mt. Rainier still bathed in sunlight and thus showing up prominently.
