Bridges collects daughter Linderman from a station in Seattle, Washington state, USA

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

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

After some establishing shots of Mount St Helen's, Washington, Bullock waits over 600 miles away outside the Cody tunnel, Wyoming.

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.

On the corner of North Bend Boulevard North and Southwest Mount Si Boulevard. Google has a Shell garage there now. SJ

My rental (near one) one away from the exact same space. SJ

Now this could be anywhere, from the hills of LA to the wilds of the northwest, the restaurant where Sutherland meets Travis.

Sutherland sees himself in a vision back at the North Bend service station.

Same "now" as above. SJ

Sutherland and Bridges slug it out.

Bridges leaves as Sutherland watches him go: nice shots of the Space Needle to help identify the location.

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

200 Aloha Street: Google/SJ

Same as above, now with Travis.

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