Look up, it's another clock!

The Century Square clock is at Fourth and Pine, just a block away from the Ben Bridge clock. According to Rob Ketcherside's Seattle Clock Walk, it was painted red in the summer of 2004. I'm not sure if I like the paint job but that sure makes it stick out. If you walk around here often and haven't seen it, you probably need to slow down a bit next time to enjoy these hidden urban treasures. Even better, take the whole Clock Walk. There's no shame in being a tourist in your own city once in a while.

I wonder how many blood diamonds it took to pay for that clock back in the 1920's?  Posted on June 13, 2009 at 10:28 AM by UltraMegaOK. Jump to comment
