- Nope, I'll confirm that as our lovely neighbor-to-the-North. --Thomcat 19:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC), Seattle resident
- I realize that you are a Seattle resident (Seattlite?), but I found this photo Seattle Downtown, which is obviously the same place from a different angle, and appears to have the Space Needle in the background. Am I mistaken? --Pardey 19:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- It's definitely not Vancouver's, ours is on a peninsula. Furthermore, those radio/TV towers in the foreground look to be in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. Additionally, Columbia Center (the big black building on the left of the image) certainly isn't in Vancouver but Seattle. Same with WaMu Tower.
- Definitely Seattle's downtown (unless I'm falling victim to some aggressive caching and am seeing a different picture). DaleF 19:33, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Note that the linked picture has the thick I-5 on the ground near city center but this Vancouver picture doesn't. I can understand the confusion, though!
