    To enjoy the best experience, why don't we enjoy some music Today we visit Atarashima Point, the building was completed in 2009. The facade of the tall building looks like gold due to the technology hidden in the building itself. Atarashima Point also houses an observation deck, 8 restaurants, 4 bars and 324 rooms which is owned by Hilton. Located underground of Atarashima Point is also Downtown ARTS Station. A major station and serves thousands of passengers every day And now to finish this update with a picture of the waterfront on Mid City Island ...

    Update 12 WAR! The Battle of New SorGun February 1856 The Puget Sound War has spread to the SorGun region. A number of Indian tribes in the area, including the Nisqually, Muckelshoot, and Puyallup have decided to fight, rather than give up their lands in accordance with the poorly negotiated Treaty of Medicine Creek. The previous month, in January, a raid was conducted against the small town of Seattle. The local militias were able to repulse the attack on Seattle with the help from the USS Decatur and a detachment of US Marines. Unfortunately the Indian war party has set their sight on the town of New SorGun and the surrounding area. In February of 1856, the Indian war party began to make their way down the Rannug River, putting the town of Junction directly in their path. The Wapato tribe became aware of the danger and warned their friends in New SorGun. It was quickly determined that the town of Junction was indefensible. Orders were given and everybody in the area was to pack what they could and head north towards New SorGun. (click for full size) Early in the morning of February 17, the Indian raiders prepared to attack the town of Junction. Homes outside of town were put to the torch as the sun began to rise. With no resistance to be seen, the Indian warriors quickly set fire to the main town of Junction. The main crossroads in town were ablaze in no time. By the evening, most of the structures in the immediate vicinity of the town were on fire, or already smoldering. By nighfall, even homes outside of town were set ablaze and burned throughout the night. For most settlers, years of hard work and a lifetime of savings disappeared in a day. The Indian party wasted little time and continued their war path. Fortunately for Farmer Ben, the Indians crossed the Rannug River further upstream, leaving his home and farm untouched. All he could do was watch on the opposite bank. The next day they came across the Wapato village. Because the Wapato were widely known as friends of the New SorGun settlers, their village was not spared. Like Junction, the village had been evacuated. The Wapato tribe was safe, but their village was no more. The war party was on the move again, and New SorGun was the last stop. Old man Nug climbed to the highest point on his hill. Smoke rose in the west where the Wapato village had once been. Would the town of New SorGun be next? (click for full size) The Indians made camp in preparation for the big raid. Less than a mile of dense forest separated the two groups – The townsfolk could see the smoke of their campfires rising to the west. For the first time, the fate of New SorGun was in question… Note: Most of my images are rarely touched using Photoshop, but this update is an exception. I'm still very new to photo editing, so I would like to hear your feedback. Thanks for stopping by!
