Why do I love Google Maps ( http://maps.google.com/maps ) because the picture quality is just crystal clear… Now check this out…

So… go to the above link and then input the following address… SW Massachusetts St & 13th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98134 … then click the “Search Maps”…

Now… just north (up) from the “dry docks" - looks like a needle pointing to the bay or just left of the word “Address:” … look at the picture closely… and then zoom in to that same area… and what do you see…????

Post your answers/guess….

Note: that these images were taken in 2008

Good information. Just curious, do you know when photo taken? I am now a Google Map fan.

Google Earth is great and always my "go to" source for mapping out fishing expeditions, but there are some "dead zones" in the parks areas- Baker Snoqualemie and parts of the Northern Cascades. as an alternative, you can try Window's Local Live.

for example, anything above High Bridge on the Sky is blurry on Google Earth, but Local LIve it is crystal clear.
