| IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE that just 12 months ago we were wondering if a massive computer breakdown would end civilization as we know it. No electricity. No water. No Pacific Northwest issue featuring The Seattle Times' best photographs of the past year.
Fortunately, technology held up so that we can look back at some of the things that made 2000 noteworthy.
Times photographers started the new year in New York City, where a few terrorist threats didn't keep a good party down. Later in Seattle we celebrated other events. A big, ugly building was imploded. A building that many find big and ugly was dedicated.
If it was a special year, it was also a year like any other, with stories of tragedy as well as triumph, moments ordinary as well as extraordinary.
These are Times photographers' records of some of those moments.
