“Cities are fluid and ever-changing, but it’s difficult to overstate the value in preserving a place’s shared memory.” — Sophie Grossman, Seattle MET
Vanishing Seattle was started in 2016 by Cynthia Brothers to document the displaced and disappearing institutions, small businesses, and cultures of Seattle. I contribute by taking photographs of spaces and communities that give Seattle its character that are at risk or have disappeared often due to gentrification and development.
Vanishing Seattle inspired me to document and help preserve the history and soul of Seattle.
