This "Seattle Vintage" post is husband's recollection of a funny short film from the 1970s which followed archaeologists excavating the remains of the ancient city of Seattle after an eruption of Mount Rainier. This is mixed in with my own memories of the now-long-gone Seattle Center Fun Forest.

Seattle is where I’m a local. And it’s changed much over the years. While I try to embrace the new, sometimes it’s fun to look back, so I added the Seattle Vintage section to feature memories of old Seattle for when the nostalgic mood hits.

What “Seattle Vintage,” “Old Seattle,” or “Seattle Memories,” means for any of us will differ. My father remembered streetcars and streams running through Ballard. I remember walking to the Bite of Seattle at Greenlake and watching fireworks from my front porch.
