I Spent March and April Documenting the Deserted Streets of Seattle
Over the course of those 6 weeks, I set out to document the city of Seattle as it’s never been seen before: a city of dense population and traffic, completely and utterly abandoned.
For the last 6 weeks the city of Seattle has been a ghost town. With major lockdown orders issued, hundreds of millions of Americans stayed home in a united front against an invisible threat. Major city streets were left empty, downtown was abandoned, and playgrounds were deserted. Seattle, once a thriving metropolis of several million people, became silent nearly overnight.
