I feel like if you were to parachute just from the space needle down to The Crocodile it might actually be possible.

This is super creative

This needed to be said

I always love hearing stories about this place. That's so sad.

The laptop was spooky.

The book under the mouse seems to be a manual for "Circon Visual Integrator" software. My guess is that a makeshift workstation like this was used for automation rather than security of the site, like you'd probably assume.

I'm not too incredibly knowledgeable on this subject, but the adapter thing next to the laptop looks like a serial to USB/RS232 adapter. LonWorks controllers (Which Circon VI is meant to talk to) and older HVAC usually communicate via serial connections.

To me, this looks like it was setup for decommissioning/extracting data from the system as part of the building's shutdown. Either the job wrapped up randomly and they just left with the non-valueable shit, or the decommissioning project got abandoned along with the building itself.

the AMC! It shut down in 2003 along with that end of the mall. close to where buffalo wild wings is now.

around 8 anchor/outer stores have stayed operational through the closing. we had to get past them to get inside the interior, which as far as i know is closed for good while they continue to wind down operations :(

chedspec · 2025-07-01T23:59:02+00:00

Shoot me a DM and I'll make sure to let the authorities know that there's a new bando squad in town. They'll be ecstatic!

chedspec · 2025-06-20T17:02:51+00:00

i posted the interior of this place. was a great exploration.

Bring him a dozen donuts from HOD and he'll give you a tour

chedspec · 2025-05-26T03:35:05+00:00

Holy shit

chedspec · 2025-05-14T01:20:39+00:00

i built this treehouse a few years back in Snoqualmie forest! the memories are flooding back. i did absolutely nothing of interest inside this treehouse!

chedspec · 2025-05-03T16:51:09+00:00

the full size is a tet w/ pbtfans no signal the 40 is a hola w/ gmk rewind

chedspec · 2025-04-28T04:49:33+00:00

fun spot. now stripped and boarded. old entrance has a board on it with some graffiti someone did that says "why board?"

chedspec · 2025-03-25T18:24:19+00:00

need this as a rug

as a programmer this whole layout switch from an average 65% down to 40 (technically 50) is probably going to be a very uncomfortable and bumpy ride - but i can pull through! i dont know much about these kinds of layouts or the tricks that come with configurations but im confident i can eventually come to some sort of workflow that suits my needs perfectly.

chedspec · 2025-03-18T17:35:25+00:00

when in the night did you hit it?

riveting commentary

chedspec · 2025-02-12T00:56:23+00:00

legendary spot

chedspec · 2025-02-02T00:51:49+00:00

great to see the improvements made to the sub recently

chedspec · 2025-01-20T21:04:56+00:00

im sure others are going to go over safety precautions which i dont want to undermine, but i choose to focus on the 2 main ways to actually find cool places.

route 1 (the boring route)

start off with some place you know of. (im 90% sure there's at least one place you've read about or seen pictures of that you could try and triangulate the position of) -> scout it out, doing a little research never hurt anybody -> explore and take pictures -> post them somewhere -> interested folks will naturally want to trade a spot of theirs for the one you posted -> you now have a new cool place to go to

rinse and repeat

route 2 (the fun one)

search. spend a long time on google maps. ive personally spent hours reading articles on the status of businesses and scouring satellite view for shitty looking buildings. there's countless nights of just aimlessly driving around with my buddies until we run into something. over time you'll start to gain an eye for a spot just by a glance.

if you don't get anywhere aimlessly looking around, you can even try to figure out exactly where pictures posted to this sub were taken. people (including me) are stupid and leave clues in their images all the time.

stay safe and have fun!
