I often walk by the old Fire Station No 7, on 15th Ave in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. It now houses a video rental store. It is usually cloudy and rainy (especially this time of year). So on Friday afternoon when I looked at the doors, I thought ‘Man! Did I know the doors are that violet (and violent!) blue color? I guess I know now!’.

Check out the two Ford Model T’s parked on the side street. (Photograph courtesy Seattle Municipal Archives .. but I actually found the picture on a blog called vintageseattle.org).
