Today we spent some time at the brand new MOHAI (Museum of History and Industry).
They have just completed remodeling the Armory on South Lake Union. (There are multiple armories in Seattle.)
Their remodel was necessary because they were essentially kicked out of their old house, which will be the site of a freeway off-ramp or something.
Icons of the Area
We took advantage of a members only preview to see the new sites with a small number of folks. I took a few pictures of special bits.
The Lincoln Toe Truck
What museum trip would be complete without information about the local sewer system’s history.
R. H. Thompson’s Sewer Map for Seattle
The Kingdome
There was much that we could not see due to our relative lack of time, and Carl’s need for dinner.
He did deserve a break. He walked down to the museum after spending a good amount of time in the basement with our remodeling.
Wall be gone
Past the beast to the exterior wall
A little hole in the wood just at the top of the concrete wall
The dark stain on the wall is where the water runs down from the hole
“I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in …”

Beatles? I went to a Led Zeppelin concert in the Kingdome in 1977. What memories!!
