Join us in honoring six decades of Seattle’s iconic landmark! Take a look back on the past 60 years.

Its historic roof housed hoops and concerts for over 50 years. After its overhaul, the 3-time WNBA champion Seattle Storm have returned to the hardwood, and the NHL's newest team, Kraken, debuted on ice. Puck yeah!

Taking public art to a whole new dimension - the park was completed in 2007. Every year, new works appear, including a 47' tall face called "Echo" in May 2014.

Ringed by lumber mills and shipyards in the early 1900s, this hardworking lake is home to nearly 500 houseboats. Serene views keep residents from feeling sleepless.

Home of the Seahawks' "12s" (actually 67,000 of them) and prime pitch for the Sounders FC. The raucous roar from fans often rivals jet engines during takeoff!

With a skyline starting to rival Seattle's, B-vue is showing its growth from a leafy suburb to a first-class business center with two (count 'em 2!) sides of waterfront.

22 miles long with a pair of floating necklaces (bridges), this deep blue lake forms the watery, park-dotted, eastern edge of Seattle.

Part of the Washington State Highway System (honest!), the signature ferries that criss-cross Puget Sound are beautiful by day, and all twinkly in the dark at night.

The 2nd most thermally active crater in the Cascade range (after hot-head, Mt. St. Helens), Mt. Baker had the nation's #1 snowfall in 2013/2014 with 623". Good reason to get plowed.

This 4.2 million-bushel-capacity behemoth was erected in 1970. In '75, the Port built the Elliott Bay Trail for a bushel of fun along the shore from Terminal 86 to Pier 70.

Want a seaside feel? Do the Duwamish. Jutting north to help define Elliott Bay, there's beach volleyball to the west on Alki Beach and an underwater park (for the SCUBA crowd) to the south.

With A+ views of downtown and Elliott Bay, this high school built in 1909 is now home to 137 high-class condos - some still sporting huge chalkboards.

Opened as Safeco Field in 1999, it's where up to 47,000 big league fans have a ball. The old-fashioned stadium is packed with tech, plus a rolling roof, lush grass, and a hyper Mariner Moose mascot.
