To the west, we have the saltwater of Puget Sound.  To the north, we have Lake Union, with its stunning city views and unique houseboats.  And to the east, we have freshwater Lake Washington, separating us from the suburbia of Bellevue, and Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the reason I created the Live Theme for Mike Industries (see the &#8220;Live&#8221; button on the right side of the site&#8230; Flash 6 required) was to lend the feel of Seattle to the site.  When it&#8217;s rainy and drab, the site feels muted.  When it&#8217;s sunny and gorgeous, the site comes to life.<\/p>\n<p>When it really gets interesting though is when something cool floats across Puget Sound and the live cam captures it.  Being that it is the middle of summer, the amount of cool stuff flying by has increased substantially.  Below is a sampling of header images from three random times I checked the site over the last couple of weeks:<\/p>\n<h3>Cruise ship with parasailer flying alongside<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/inline\/ship1.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"121\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Slightly larger cruise ship<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/inline\/ship2.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"121\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Hyundai container ship entering port from Asia<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/inline\/ship3.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"121\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still working on getting motion detection set up properly so these sorts of shots appear with greater frequency, but for now, please enjoy the view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There aren&#8217;t too many nicer places in the summer than Seattle. 70 to 90 degrees, low humidity, breezy, great air quality, and just a general sense of happiness among everyone.
