abandoned seattle (forgotten erased history)

I’m a hairdresser (uk) and I recently did the hair of an American lady who is a university professor in architecture… I told her that American architecture made no sense … i managed to explain a little by using your words - I told her built in a few years with the population the size it was they needed giant castle like asylums? All to be then destroyed in various fires … i told her I didn’t buy it and never had… but I said it in a good way so she wouldn’t squeal and complain about me… she couldn’t respond or argue….oooh its very tricky to change the narrative that people have blindly accepted for all this time Love you ❤thank you🌼

Please don’t ever change your intro music. I can’t explain it, but really puts me in a different zone. Sets the mood for your videos.

It's baffling that the mainstream narrative could be so obviously fictitious, and yet so many people don't have the capacity to question the narrative...??? What...??? Really...??? The facts are so ridiculously illogical and flat-out preposterous that for the average person to not even consider the possibility that it doesn't make sense is utterly inconceivable. Phenomenally done, sir!!!

""Look at these primitive asswipes," actually caused a real life morning coffee spit take that came out of my nose and hurt a bit. Thank you as always Jon 😂

“I think he looks drunk and I don’t think he gives a damn about architecture.”😂 best line ever jon.

you have to consider the number of days it is pouring rain and cold in Oregon and Washington is a determining factor for construction. You need skilled carpenters and laborers and managerial direction for resources and scheduling. The weather has to be somewhat agreeable for any foundation setting. same for roofing. add to that the steep gradients and amount of foliage needing to be cleared and the obstacles to building in that region seem daunting even in current era, let alone in the 1800’s.

18:51 I will have to finish the video later because seeing this much intentional deception and destruction of what should be our inheritance is starting to make me feel depressed. It's been 4 years since I stumbled upon Jon Levis' channel, and several others since, and I'm still processing and having revelations of the implications of what all the destruction and cover up of our real history means. About the past and our government and actually all the worlds governments, whatever their ideology. They are all involved in the same cover ups and lies and oppression of their own people while simultaneously pretending to be protecting their people and opposed to other nations ways of governance. Thanks for your efforts and honesty Mr. Levi.

Weekly Jon Levi! Pure brilliance! Thanks for your hard work over the years. We truly appreciate you!

The deeper you go in Seattle, the more you find...😊 There are parts of the underground that seem to keep going lower but currently flooded due to current water levels. Side walks made from cut stone and roads made of bricks that disappear into the water. All under current downtown.

For the past quarter century, I have lived in a town which is said to be one of the fastest growing in the US. It has more than doubled in population since I moved here and is now home to more than 45,000 people. This town was founded in 1966, so almost everything is fairly new. In spite of the explosive growth, and the construction of all of the usual municipal facilities in the last 20 years, not one of the buildings here comes close to the grand architecture shown in this video. Not one.

Just seeing pictures and knowing how they destroyed all of the beautiful old buildings is absolutely heartbreaking. Sometimes I just don't think I can take it anymore. Especially seeing how THEY are still doing it everyday right in front of our eyes. And most people are clueless and could care less. It's just heartbreaking.

Zion Cooperative Mercantile Institution! ZCMI I’ve seen hundreds of historic item from this “mercantile institution” from all over the American West. They minted their own coins, as did soooo many other business. The narrative is that there was a shortage of US Coin so pretty much every business in the country in the 1860s-1920s made their own coins or “tokens”. So they had no trouble minting coins but the US mints just couldn’t keep up. My boss, Fred Holabird, wrote the book on “Pioneer Minor Coinage” or tokens. I’ve seen hundreds of them marked ZCMI.

Royalty is the biggest cover up for rotten behavior! I am just so mad about being lied to all my life. Thanks for all you research!

Jon Levi is probably the number one researcher in this area. My god he is good. Most impressive presentations without fail and his commentary is so appropriate. He’s seems to perfect it first time round. So casual. He doesn’t give the bullshit narrative any mercy. I love it.

Sunday Funday ! I worked for a roofing company in Harvard for over 5 years . That "institution" owns THOUSANDS of buildings and houses , all over the entirety of Cambridge (also part of Boston) and the things I could say about as well as point out would take me weeks to write out ... as for a one sentence description "It feels like you're in a different world" and I'll leave it at that . Thank you for your work Jon (and chief) . God bless

The narrative is utterly ridiculous. Thank you for sharing! Love from Finland.

Once doubt and distrust sets in, we see the world around us in a very different light. Good work.

While watching a documentary on the San Francisco earthquakes, one of the ladies, who was six I believe at the time. Said that she and her mother could hear the people,or fire department, or military, blowing up the remaining buildings that did not fall or burn in the earthquake or fire. she said that, day and night for, (I can’t remember )- 24 hours or three or four days anyhow, just explosions blowing up what was left of San Francisco. and her mother commented on what a waste it was to destroy those buildings.

The brick companies must have gigantic building to be able to make so many bricks? The bricks must have been moved to work site by horse and carriage, how many bricks could you haul with only horse and carriage? Anyway thanks Levi for thinking outside of the box/narrative.

I am a Seattle native and the buildings that are left, and the one on the front cover of the book, are absolutely jaw dropping in real life. The only reason they still exist is because Pioneer Square was finally made into a historical district. The narrative they have going is the founding fathers of Seattle ; Yesler, Leary, Denny, Maynard, had the means and capacity to build all of these magnificent over the top old world structures. But "who" had the talent and ability to even build them? We could not build these today. They are still tearing buildings down if they can get away with it, starting with lighting them on fire such as one of the old historical buildings I know, it has been sitting boarded up for almost two decades now as they are not allowed to tear it down but its too "expensive" to fix up. Likely they are waiting for a loophole to tear it down, and with that other buildings marked historical could fall under the same loophole. I have seen amazing old world antiquitech buildings in Seattle being torn down since the 1990's, and then replaced with such things as a parking lot. Visit these buildings and take pictures while you can.
