Southeast Seattle Pizzazz: Some Catholic Church

My old district was charming, but sort of bland: The real estate developers have been steadily draining north Seattle of interesting places and things over the last ten years or so. If you are into condos, coffee shops and wine bars, it's wonderful. But not a whole lot of there is left there, if you know what I mean.

The same cannot be said of southeast Seattle. For one thing, it's the home of Chez Vel-Duray, but it is also has some interesting stalwarts from Seattle's more working-class, space-age era.

Like this church:



I freely admit that I am a sucker for a mosaic, but you have to admit it's pretty cool. I love the steeple as well, and the movie theatre doors (The school is equally mod, but I didn't want to look like I was stalking the children, so no pictures. You will have to take my word for it)

And just because I can, I'm going to include this close-up of the mosaic. It relates to some sort of Bible story. I don't remember which one right now.
