These are some photographs I took a couple of days after the earthquake in the south downtown area of Seattle by Pioneer Square.  I was amazed by what I saw.  It all seemed surrealistic.  I still look at these and can't believe I was in this earthquake.  Luckily, the building I work in is further to the north, on more solid ground than old downtown, which a lot is built on top of the Seattle that burned in the late 1800s.

Sidewalk with some fallen brick cleared to the sides.	Badly cracked older building.	A building with some missing bricks on the outer corner of it.
The hole in the building facade at the top.  This is the same building in the picture above this one.	Cracks in the outer facade and damage to the awning of this building.	Another building that had lost it's bricks.
Most notorious is the Fenix Underground.  A nightclub that saw some of the worst damage.	An obviously badly cracked building.	Another hole left in the facade of an old building.
The Fenix Underground.	A car that was smashed up beneath the bricks is being unburied and towed out of the rubble.	Same car being towed from the Fenix Underground.

The car finally being pulled out.

One more car to go.

Hopefully, I can say: There will be no more to come!
