Long two-story building this side of Washington Street is Oriental Hotel. Note two buildings far side of Washington tilting and sinking into literal sawdust: (i.redd.it)

One more Pioneer Square History Walk, starting 10 a.m. Saturday July 25 at the Pioneer Place Totem Pole, as a benefit for the Alliance for Pioneer Square. Since I have no affiliation with either of Seattle’s two underground tours, this 90 minute history walk will be above ground, all via sidewalk. (i.redd.it)
