The Same Apartment Complex Remains There
It has been a long time since WWII, yet the gorgeous building remains where it was. Who would have thought it was almost demolished so many years ago?
The war finally ended on May 8, 1945 when the Germans surrendered. By then, concentration camps had been freed and Hitler was dead. It was time to rebuild the city and remember what happened.
Seattle Without the Space Needle
Even though it’s hard to imagine the skyline in Seattle without it, the Space Needle was not built till 1961. This observation tower is the highest structure west of the Mississippi River.
Standing at 605 feet, it can survive a 9.1 magnitude earthquake and 200mph winds. Edward E. Carlson and John Graham Jr. worked to make this structure. It drew in 2.3 million visitors when it debuted.
