Bridges and his curious coiffure in Seattle. The Seattle Coffee Company on the corner of Pike Street and 1st Avenue is behind him.

Now ... but a Google image which will have to do for now, but which one hopes can be replaced at a later date. SJ

  • Capture 3
  • 21 Jan 2012

Bridges looking for someone to abduct. How about that girl coming up? This is the west end of Pike Street.

Seattle public market. Same place seen near the beginning of Sleepless in Seattle: hence the slightly off angle as I'm doing the "now" for that one. SJ

Bridges fails again. "Get lost, creep."

Same corner as vani002. Google/SJ

And joins Sutherland.

This is the eastern end of the tunnel as one drives on the US 14/16/20 (North Fork Highway) west of Cody. Note the matching rock strata. Google/SJ

The approach to North Bend, Washington, overlooked by Mount Si, a fair way from Cody, Wyoming.

Same "now" as above. SJ

Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan's excellent book Seattle on Film correctly suggest 2nd Avenue North and Aloha Street.

Another Google shot, one hopes to be replaced by a real shot. SJ
