Abandoned by the U.S. Army and overtaken by nature, a former Nike Site S-13/14 missile site slowly rots into the earth Tuesday, March 25, 2014, in Redmond, Wash. During the Cold War, the nuclear-tipped missiles at these sites were America’s last ditch defense against the threat of a nuclear bomber attack by the Soviet Union. Decommissioned in 1974 from its original purpose, the area is currently owned by the Lake Washington School District and was previously used for the district's NEVAC work study programs. The radar site to the west of the launchers has been renovated and is now owned by the United States Air Force. The radars have been removed and portions of the site have been converted into "Nike Park." (Jordan Stead, seattlepi.com)<br />

Seattle and University of Washington police have one in custody after a four-hour standoff with a man in a trailer on the UW campus Monday, March 31, 2014, in Seattle, Wash. The incident began about 12:30 p.m. and a man surrendered to SWAT officers shortly before 4:30 p.m. Seattle police report a man barricaded himself at Eighth Avenue Northeast and Northeast Northlake Place. Streets in the area were closed and two bus routes were rerouted. UW police received a report just before noon that a man damaged a telephone pole outside a UW lecture hall with a baseball bat, according to Seattle police. When the campus police responded, the man reportedly pepper sprayed an officer and shut himself inside a small trailer hitched to a pickup truck down the street. Seattle police sent negotiators and SWAT to the scene, who spent hours communicating with the man. He demanded to speak with state legislators and refused to leave the trailer. Police believed the man had other weapons inside the trailer and closed off pedestrian traffic on the University Bridge and several streets between Sixth and Eighth avenues along Northlake Place.

Fai Mathews, 61, gathers an armful of signs while preparing to walk the 32nd “Rise Up! Restore the Dream!” annual celebration for Martin Luther King, Jr., on Monday, Jan. 20, 2014, in Seattle. Mathews' portrait of MLK, in her left hand, has been in her family for 30 years. A mass of hundreds walked from Garfield High School to Westlake Park. The event also included a rally and a workshop.

This mainly stems from my interest in focusing more on individual images - often a single picture - that I happen to enjoy the most. A blog format such as this, possibly in a "month's best" gathering, will cut down on process photographs that tend to keep the picture story-styled galleries of SeattlePI.com flowing freely.<br />

An estimated 90 firefighters battled a two-alarm blaze that began around 4 PM Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2013, at 669 South King Street in Seattle. The cause of the fire is still unknown and continues to be considered "out of control." Shortly after 8 PM, firefighters reduced it to a one alarm response, but officials stated personnel would be stationed throughout the night. The American Red Cross was called to assist at least 22 displaced residents. The building was the site of the 1983 Wah Mee massacre, in which 13 people were killed in a robbery at the Wah Mee gambling club.

The cold wave in Western Washington reduced Snoqualmie Falls to some world-class icicles Monday, Dec. 9, 2013, in Snoqualmie. The cold temperatures are expected to moderate through the week. Officials at Puget Sound Energy say icy conditions such as these occur about once a year. The conditions have not stopped or hurt power production of the hydroelectric plant at the falls. Water has continued to flow.
