Ah yes, Seattle’s famous 18th century skyscrapers.
map of Seattle in The Last of Us Part 2
For context, at the end of the 18th century NYC had 34,000 people, Philly had 28,000, and Boston had about 20,000.
The geomorphology here is odd
I love being able to look at a place’s geography and instantly tell why a big city grew there.
Yeah if i was an explorer in 17-whatever, i would def have set up a little outpost here too.
Seattle has the perfect geography, between 2 large bodies of water, and on a delta. All protected by the pudget sound too.
I grew up in Seattle and love this picture. Very fresh and young city
The old way that Lake Sammamish and Washington drained is weirdly funny to me?
Sammamish flows from south to north, Washington flowed north to south, and then into the Duwamish which flows south to north, making a big S-shape.
Did not know they had satellites back then
Check out Daniel Steiner map of Seattle on YouTube for how it evolved
So we’re sending satellites back in time already?
This is awesome, great work. Post to a Seattle or PNW page.
Reminds me of this map – [Updated Liquefaction-Prone Area Map](https://buildingconnections.seattle.gov/2023/09/01/updated-liquefaction-prone-area-map/)
now THAT’S settleable
That map looks like a starting map in Civilization (one of the iterations).
Damn, humans really made that river and delta our bitch, didn’t we? Totally controlled its flow and made the delta into a harbor and port.
If you could carve a little clearing, that view from the hills over the Duwamish River estuary would’ve really been something.
