South lake union in Seattle was the old warehouse district. This afternoon, I strolled around [as my store is here] taking photos of the tracks and old buildings. The NP ran thru here up until the 1970's. Today, Amazon and Paul Allen (msft co founder) have transformed the neighborhood. Employment in 2005 when we opened here was about 1000---today nearly 30,000 work in the neighborhood! This number will nearly double in the next 5-8 years. If you find your self in Seattle, take a stroll and take it in!
