Inspired by LoudMusics Terra Server Fun thread.. Thanks LM..
As some of you know, I have a slight obsession with Seattle - by far the coolest place I've been - EVER... And with that in mind, I decided to have a little fun with the Terraserver (if Microshaft monitors the usage, I've been reported to CIA by now - They'll be awaiting terrorist attacks in Seattle) while taking a few screenshots - well, it got a little out of hand
- The picture in all it's glory is just below 4 megs and around 5000x7000 pixels - only time I've ever wished for more than a gig of RAM 
The Picture is right here, 4 megs, don't blame your internet bill on me 
Green lines is where you race in the open,
Blue when you're under suspended roads, bridges,
Yellow is the pit area,
Orange points to where the screenshot is taken....
On with the list :
I should also mention that the Kingdome and Safeco Field only co-existed during the building of Safeco Field. After the opening of SF the Dome was demolished - as you can see in the screenshots, SF isn't finished either as it has a brick outerwall and not just the metal structure....

On with the list :
- Overlooking a small walkway that'll take you from the city to the seafront without hitting trafic.
- 2, 3 and 4 are diff. shots of a parking building called the "Sinking Ship" due to it's odd shape, and believe me, it looks like that in real life...
- Sinking Ship - another fine example of how elevated Seattle is..
- Sinking Ship - yet another fine example of how elevated Seattle is..
- Ready for that Downhill drop. Seattle is extremely elevated in real life as well.. (See 2, 3 and 4)
- Between the two massive office buildings, you can see Space Needle
- One of the access roads to the second level freeway.
- This is the OK Hotel - around the corner to the left is the front of the OK Cafe which was used as the coffee shop in the movie Singles.. The OK Hotel and Cafe are closed until further notice due to .. ehhrmm .. structural problems with the building..
- Pit Entry / exit, depending on yer general direction..
- Just an oddly shaped building after the 110 degree turn.
- Whoah - Like totally Tall office building ahead dude
- Ready to go under the suspended highway.
- as 12, but looking out.
- Ye olde train station.
- Storage facility I suspect.
- Another oddly shaped building behind a parking lot.
- Same oddly shaped building as in 16, but from the other side.
- Small bridge.
- The now Demolished Kingdome from the back - You can see the onramp to the freeway in the front. If you look at the superimposed black and white of Kingdome, to the lower right, you can see that in 1990 they'd just started building that onramp...
- A sign that is no more
- Kingdome from the other side.
- Safeco Field - Home of the Seattle Mariners - They ROCK (not this year though
) - Another shot of Safeco Field..
- Back under the suspended highway..
I should also mention that the Kingdome and Safeco Field only co-existed during the building of Safeco Field. After the opening of SF the Dome was demolished - as you can see in the screenshots, SF isn't finished either as it has a brick outerwall and not just the metal structure....

Amazing picture there man. 
straight into the wall. However it was a great place to catch or overtake the AI cars if driven proper cause they all slow down to get through clean. If it is included in GT4 I hope the AI are better cause they kept pushing me into the wall as well. Even when lapping them, used to make me
