This used to be a bread factory in the Central District of Seattle.

I had just plowed up some big hills and it was a nice relief to see the construction fence around this abandoned looking building.

After talking with Junix, the plan was to meet down here after I got off of work. Not having time to swing home, I had fun exploring in bicycling shoes with one of my bicycle lights guiding me around the building.
There isn’t a lot inside, mostly large empty rooms. In the basement there are holes in the floor. Interesting features include: multiple levels, a drive in loading dock, a room with lots of graffiti, and a huge sign on top of the building.
I’ve satisfied my curiosity with this building, and find no reason to go back.

Edit: More Info

This building was a popular hangout for the homeless and graffiti artists. When I first visited the place there was some amazing pictures of graffiti on the wall. It helped me to believe that there are quality graffiti artists left in this city, instead of just "taggers." I love seeing cool stickers or pieces of art when I wander around these places.
