KeyBank is loving these clocks, here's another at Fremont.
The Scarlet Tree was a Ravenna institution until it burned in 2005. When it reopened in 2009, this very attractive clock was included in the new design at the new location.
I believe the clock was added as part of the 2008 remodel of this 1916 office building.
According to HistoryLink, the building was dedicated in 1930 as the Boeing Field Administration Building. The clock is visible as an original element in a photo on that page.
This was added to aid commuters to the Sound Transit Light Rail Capitol Hill Station, opening in 2016.
But this one has a good story.
Ben Thanh takes its name from a famous public market in Ho Chi Minh City. Like Seattle's Pike Place Market, Ben Thanh has an iconic clock which has become its symbol.
The logo to the left of the restaurant's sign is a representation of that clock. And if you look around the neon sign you'll see that a clock tower has been drawn on the wall behind it.
Fun.
I was thinking about whether I wanted pizza or coffee (it's neighbored by Dharwin Lounge and Pagliacci Pizza) when I noticed the bike shop for the first time. As I stared at it in amazement suddenly I noticed the clock face looking back at me!
This style of clock seems to be spreading in Seattle. One of these days I need to track down the source.
Surprisingly I didn't "discover" this one until recently. I was doing a web search and ran across a page that mentioned it.
The tower was given to the university by the Class of 1966. It's been around longer than I have, so this reminds me that there are still plenty of clocks around the city that I don't know about.
It's at Java Jazz Espresso in the Interbay area of Seattle, Washington. The business is in a floating island of businesses just off the south end of the 15th Avenue Bridge which leads to Ballard.
Now I need to revisit the other three clocks which I had dismissed as foul apparitions. Are there really clocks at Discovery Park, Fisher Plaza, and Aurora and 84th?
Maybe a similar sentiment, tied with charity and goodwill, has driven this home owner in Seattle to place such a large clock on their balcony. I've been looking for clocks for years and this is the first time I can remember a clock for public use on a private home.
