This is a really great article about the King Street Station Clock, which works again finally. Also, the annoying antenna from the photo has been removed.
And from the comments:
Now I know when I have to run the last couple of blocks to catch the
Sounder! Thanks for donating your time and efforts into repairing a great Seattle rail landmark. We’re one step closer to having a grand rail station.
Does anyone know what the status of the big clock at Westlake station is?
You guys were scooped weeks ago by a damned dirty exurbian.

You’re awesome, brad *gush*!
I thought you lived in Redmond or Sammamish. Redmond is at best suburban, not exurban for sure, and it’s a stretch to characterize Sammamish as exurban even.
Fall City is probably exurban tho.
I kid, because I care.

And the photo is better in that post, too.
On the nifty Vintage Seattle blog, they’re asking if anyone recalls what color the clocks’ neon was. I think it was pink (not my first choice). Anyone know what it was? Go/Read/Post:
