>>> WELCOME BACK TO NEW DAY NORTHWEST.
NORTHWEST. >>> THE HEARTBREAKING FIRE AT
NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL LAST WEEK
TOUCHED PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD, AND IT GOT US THINKING
ABOUT THE STRUCTURES IN OUR OWN
BACKYARD THAT MEAN A LOT TO US.
HERE WITH A FEW IMPORTANT
LANDMARKS YOU MAY NOT KNOW
ABOUT IS FELIX.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
>> MY PLEASURE.
>> I HAVE TO ADMIT THERE WERE
SOME PLACES I HAD NOT HEARD OF
BEFORE.
BEFORE.
BEFORE. I'M SO GLAD WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT THIS TODAY.
ST. JAMES CATHEDRAL.
IT'S BEEN A GOOD CATHEDRAL.
I THOUGHT WE WOULD START WITH
THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE
CATHEDRAL.
CATHEDRAL. BUILT IN 1907.
WE HAD A BIG SNOWSTORM IN THIS
DOME THAT USED TO BE HERE
COLLAPSED.
COLLAPSED. NO ONE WAS HURT.
IT WAS KIND OF A MIRACLE NO ONE
WAS HURT.
WAS HURT.
WAS HURT. THEY REBUILT IT AND THE DOME
WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE NEW
DESIGN.
DESIGN.
DESIGN. IF YOU LOOK AT OLD PICTURES
FROM THE 20s, IT'S KIND OF OVER
THE WHOLE CITY.
>> IS IT ONE OF THOSE THINGS
PEOPLE DRIVE BY EVERY DAY AND
DON'T NECESSARILY THINK, I NEED
TO STOP AND TAKE STOCK OF THIS
FOR YOU.
FOR YOU.
FOR YOU. >> THERE'S PEOPLE THAT GO TO
MASS EVERY SUNDAY AND SATURDAY.
IT'S JUST WHERE THEY HAVE
REGULAR MASS.
REGULAR MASS. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. PETER KIRK BUILDING IN
KIRKLAND.
KIRKLAND.
KIRKLAND. >> I GREW UP AROUND THIS
BUILDING.
BUILDING.
BUILDING. BUILT IN 1889.
THE PITTSFORD OF THE WEST.
AN INDUSTRIALIST FROM THE UK.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A REAL
ESTATE SCAM TO GET PEOPLE TO
BUY PROPERTY, BUT THE PANIC OF
1893 CAME ALONG AND IT DIDN'T
BECOME PITTSBURGH OF THE WEST,
BUT THIS BEAUTIFUL VICTORIAN-
STYLE OFFICE BUILDING REMAINS.
IT'S HOME TO THE KIRKLAND ART
CENTER NOW, JUST A VERY ODD
THING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOW VERY
SUBURBAN KIRKLAND.
SUBURBAN KIRKLAND. >> IS THE EXTERIOR FAGADE THE
ONLY PART THAT REMAINS TRUE TO
ITS ORIGINAL?
ITS ORIGINAL? >> THE UPPER FLOORS HAVE
ORIGINAL WOOD.
ORIGINAL WOOD. BUT THE INTERIOR IS STILL
PRETTY COOL.
PRETTY COOL. >> THAT'S AWESOME.
NORTHERN LIFE TOWER.
>> ONE OF SEATTLE'S FIRST TRUE
SKYSCRAPERS.
SKYSCRAPERS. IT'S 42 STORIES TALL, AND IT'S
BUILT WITH BRICKS THAT CHANGE
IN COLOR AS YOU GO FROM THE TOP
TO THE BOTTOM TO SIMULATE A
MOUNTAIN.
MOUNTAIN.
MOUNTAIN. >> WHILE.
>> WHILE.
>> WHILE. >> IT'S A BIG DEAL IN SEATTLE.
THEY GOT ABSORBED BY SOME
COMPANY 40 OR 50 YEARS AGO.
IT'S SURROUNDED BY TALLER
BUILDINGS AND KIND OF LOST, BUT
IF YOU STEP BACK, IT'S A PRETTY
INCREDIBLE, UNLIKE ANYTHING
ELSE IN TOWN.
LOTS OF BALCONIES AND DECKS.
VERY UNUSUAL COMPARED TO
EVERYTHING ELSE IN TOWN FOR.
>> IS THAT SOMETHING AN AVERAGE
PERSON CAN TOUR?
>> YOU CAN GET IN THE LOBBY.
YOU CAN'T REALLY GET ON THE
OBSERVATION DECK.
OBSERVATION DECK. YOU CAN SEE HOW COOL IT IS FROM
THE STREET.
THE STREET. SPECIAL SPOTLIGHTS MAKE IT
LIGHT UP.
LIGHT UP.
LIGHT UP. SOME OF THE COOL STUFF IS GONE
BUT THE SPIRIT IS STILL THERE.
>> PENTHOUSE THEATER.
>> THIS IS THE FIRST BUILT IN
THE UNITED STATES.
>> THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE.
>> GLENN HUGHES WAS A TRAUMA AT
AND THEN THEY BUILT THIS
THEATER TO MATCH THE EXPERIENCE
FOR.
FOR.
FOR. THEY
FOR. THEY MOVED IT ABOUT 25 YEARS
AGO AND RESTORED IT COMPLETELY.
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE ARTIFACT
RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT HERE. >> WHAT IS IT USED FOR TODAY?
>> IT SEATS 160 PEOPLE.
WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED NOW, BUT
IN 1940, IT WAS PRETTY
GROUNDBREAKING.
GROUNDBREAKING. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. THIS NEXT ONE RIGHT HERE IN
SEATTLE.
SEATTLE.
SEATTLE. THE BOEING LUNAR ROVER.
>> WE TALK ABOUT KIRKLAND.
THESE WERE DESIGNED AND BUILT
IN THE 1960S AT THE SPACE
CENTER.
CENTER.
CENTER. THE LUNAR ROVER, COMPACT
ELECTRIC CAR.
ELECTRIC CAR. THEY TOOK THREE OF THEM TO THE
MOON.
MOON.
MOON. THEY LET THEM COVERS MILES AND
MILES OF TERRITORY THEY COULD
NOT COVER ON FOOT.
THEY COLLECTED SAMPLES, DROVE
OVER THINGS, THAN THEY HAD TO
LEAVE THEM BEHIND.
SO THEY ARE SITTING ON THE
SURFACE OF THE MOON IN PRISTINE
CONDITION.
CONDITION. LATER THIS SUMMER THEY ARE
GOING TO CONSIDER WHETHER THESE
COULD BE NAMED KING COUNTY
LANDMARKS BECAUSE THEY WERE
BUILT HERE.
BUILT HERE. THEY ARE SITTING THERE ON THE
MOON WAITING TO BE APPRECIATED
BY SOME DISTANT TOURIST . AT.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S NOT ONE WE
CAN STROLL BY AND LOOK AT, BUT
HOW DO YOU HOPE THAT WHAT
HAPPENED CAN INFORM SOME OF THE
CHOICES WE MAKE ABOUT OUR OWN
LANDMARKS HERE?
LANDMARKS HERE? >> NOTRE DAME IS A WORLDWIDE
ARTIFACT.
ARTIFACT.
ARTIFACT. I THINK IN EACH OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS AND TOWNS, THERE
ARE THINGS THAT MIGHT NOT RISE
TO THAT LEVEL, BUT THEY RISE TO
THAT LEVEL IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS IS A HISTORICAL FABRIC OF
WHERE WE LIVE.
WESTERN WASHINGTON IS CHANGING
SO FAST.
SO FAST.
SO FAST. WE CAN'T SAVE EVERYTHING BUT
IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAVE PIECES
THAT TELL THAT STORY THAT GOES
BACK HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS
OF YEARS OF HUMAN HABITATION
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. HOW
HERE. HOW IT CONTINUES TO CHANGE.
I LOVE HOW MUCH THIS PLACE
CHANGES ALL THE TIME.
I WISH I COULD LIVE FOR ANOTHER
THOUSAND YEARS AND SEE HOW
DIFFERENT SEATTLE WAS A
THOUSAND YEARS FROM NOW.
WE HAVE TO KEEP SOME PIECES OF
THE PAST TO CARRY FORWARD THAT
HISTORY.
HISTORY.
HISTORY. IT'S WHAT MAKES A GREAT CITY A
GREAT CITY FOREVER.
>> AND NOW WE HAVE A LIST OF
MANY THINGS.
MANY THINGS. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
SO INTERESTING.
SO INTERESTING. WE
