At this time, my Dad doesn't quite recall why he went up again a year and a half later. When I came across these I thought maybe the negatives were dated incorrectly but these photos clearly are during the fall and there has been some construction in the meantime. Including Target which is the large light gray-roofed structure to the right of Mervyn's (white roof).

Facing West. Seattle in the distant background. The East Channel Bridge and some of the Newport Shores neighborhood are visible.

Facing West. Compare this to the third photo - note the white stairstepped buildings in the upper left quarter, the west parking lot, Target and the new lumber structure that was the across from Target (which was the triangular patch of brush and trees described above across I 405 from Newport Presbyterian)

Similar view as above.

Facing North. Downtown Bellevue's increasing skyline in the background.
