 		Why is the picture of the house so big? Couldn't they have accomplished the same effect with a slightly small picture? There has to be a reason.

The only thing "unusal" I could find about the picture was the weather vane on top of the garage (see attached picture)

 		Does the faint shape in one of the upstairs windows look like the "skeleton" in the Oct 1 Paintover pic, or has the cheese slid off my cracker? (see attached)

 		I've been looking at that marriage certificate, and then reading about the references in the photos to the Pike Place Market in Seattle.

There IS a King County administration building in Seattle (5th Ave, near intersection of James St), not too far (from looking on mapblast) from Pike Place. Also nearby Smith Tower (which is probably just a funny coinky-dink - I've been grasping at straws for a while now, unfortunately!).

I haven't been able to bring up the second name on the marriage certificate witness blank, but my guess would be 'Heather Gladstone' or something similar.

But the note says there is "About 20" legal documents on the CD, but theres only 3. Could there be doucuments hiddent in the huge picture?

Lots of us have been wondering where those other legal documents are. Also, note that the "encounter" photos are not all there - their numbering order suggests that there are others.

I personally think (hope, perhaps?) there are other CDs that have different images. Perhaps there are two kinds, and there are like 4 of each, or whatever. Doesn't REALLY fit in with the story line (that's not what he asked in the note, and there doesn't seem to be a reason why you'd do that since more stuff would fit on a CD) but, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The first thing this looked like to me was a market.

Right again, Marl64! Wow, those Seattle Municipal Archives are useful. I think it is the City Fish building at the Pike Place Market in Seattle.



The pic gave me the feeling of a mortuary so I was looking about for mortuaries in Seattle and I found this interesting page of strange goings on FireIce

If the accounts are to be believed, 1921 First Ave. -- now home to Fire & Ice -- is an active address in a paranormal zone with the public Market as its epicenter.


It turns out the Fire & Ice building was part of the site E.R. Butterworth used to expand his well-known mortuary business in Seattle in 1903.

The bottom floor was reserved for hearses and a cremation oven. The first floor, where a dining room exists today, had viewing rooms and a chapel with a choir loft.

I don't really know if this fits with anything but I found it interesting this is my first post having only been recently drawn into this experience I am still trying to catch up with all the threads of information. Unfortunately I am in the UK otherwise i would probably be running all over Seattle right now 8^)

Pardon me, but in the "No Trespassing" photo the numbers aren't

099
199

They are 660 and 661. The serifs on the 1 are the wrong way around. Plus that means the numbers are sequential.


Okay, well that's a little spooky. 660 and 661... If the numbers go on, would there be something significant with the one that has 666 on it?

 		This quote is from the article on that paranormal Fire & Ice restaurant:

Quote:
A diner watched a female apparition approach and walk through the table. The customer split, bill unpaid.



People walking through objects... just like Beth experienced. Just a strange coincidence though, as I'm sure this place has nothing to do with the game.

Look at this site for Seattle.
http://www.cityofseattle.net/

The Space Needle is missing... Gasworks park is supposed to be the #3 spot to see the Space Needle.

 		Flattering that I was quoted, but StreetPreacher was right...

From the angle the picture is taken you wouldn't be able to see the Space Needle anyway.


Here's a picture I found that backs him up. I was mistaken. I thought the two pictures were from the same angle and apparently they are not. You can clearly see that the Space Needle is not right in the middle of downtown.

This might help. It is a aerial photo from MapQuest.com. I pointed out Gasworks and the Space Needle.


Not sure where the other view is from, but you can see the same buildings same order left to right, but just a different angle.

I think they also may have just cut and pasted the Space Needle into the different angle to make it look nice and instead of having a big gap.
