Actual "rotten tomatoes" ?  |

Well "rotten tomatoes" is the metaphor I used for it, since it looks like a pile of said decaying vegetable matter when seen from I-5.
No pictures in the wiki link of that view, I'll try to find one. Otherwise it doesn't really look like a tomato from the other angles.
This comes close and gives a general idea:

If these pics are supposed to be a turn-off to those of us who just suffered through a hot humid muggy August... it's not really doing the trick. And who are those umbrella'd weenies hiding from a little drizzle anyway? Must be tourists.  |

I remember thinking it was a very lively and interesting building when I visited Seattle.= )
So.....I see quite a few pics of city areas during the rain/drizzle.....what about pics of the beautiful dewy green trees and fog rolling off the sound. Anyone got any pics of WA nature in the wintery time?

I'm so happy SOMEBODY else notices that the pictures that are posted of Seattle are the RARE days
and to the people who think it's great - remember, this is 10 months of the year...not Sunny days with welcome breaks - this is all year!!
I want out - but I guess I'm stuck with it
I'll trade three full months of 100 degree weather with ANY of you.
