As sad as some might find this.. I find a beauty in silence. We are finally forced to slow down and spend quality time doing art, hanging out with our family or really getting the chance to reflect within ourselves and do the things we were always to busy to do around our homes. It also forces us not to take our family and friends for granted. This world wide event has a purpose for us to slow down and appreciate the things we take most for granted and to love with everything we have because tomorrow is never promised. Obviously this is a blanket statement and we have our health care, military, officers, fire fighters, first responders, pharmacy and food related businesses who are unable to slow down but they do have the opportunity to share with the rest of us why it's important to stay home as much as possible and how best to protect ourselves. THANK YOU for taking care of the rest of us.
This makes me cry every time I watch it. I was born here. I lived my entire life here. I never, ever thought I would see my hometown like this. It's sad and so surreal. Like seeing the world after humans are gone.
All my love and support to the loving people of Seattle. I was fortunate to visit it several times one year ago with my friends from Spain. Seattle will be back stronger very soon. We got this!
I love America and have lots of friends and family there,praying for us all to get through this. Love from across the pond in old blighty, Rochester,England.
To you also Peres. I live right in the middle of downtown. I can see the Space Needle from the roof of my apartments. It's surreal to see it a ghost town. I've never in my life seen an empty bus here. To see the busses running 99.9% empty, is unreal.
This is beautiful and heart wrenching. Tears filled my eyes as I watched this. Thank you, Downtown SEattle Association. We will do this, one day at a time. And by having loving kindness and compassion for all those suffering around the world. We are one in this.
OMG....crying. Thank you for this. Yes, together we will get through this. (And I no longer live in Seattle, but still...love your city.) Please stay safe everyone and for everyone's sake. PRAY for the doctors, nurses, medical workers, our leaders, families who have lost their loved ones. My heart is broken, but must be strong. Deep breath....
What a great video of our city. Thank you for making it and sharing your work. It's wonderful. Hope it will be an inspiration for people the world over.
I am a critical employee, and I have been continuing to report to work every day I am assigned. I cannot adequately convey to you the actual feeling of eerieness in downtown Seattle. But this video comes close.
@@poosley7476 Thank you! To be clear, my job is critical but I am support staff, I am not in danger at this time. The commute, however, is stressful. I do sometimes wave at the people if they look out their windows. Please everyone, continue to stay inside. And when you do come out, cover up that face!
I want to go home. But home was in the rhythm The rhythm was the city The city framed the mountains The mountains made my comfort. Now I am out, and it is cold. In my bed. My bed is silent. It listens for the city.
I lived in Seattle for 4 years, and adopted it to be my hometown. It will be where I will retire to, and I am devastated, but proud of how Seattle and the region has persevered throughout this whole tragic situation. I loved seeing my city through this lens, and can't wait to join you in rebuilding for the future. #WeGotThisSeattle
I lived in Seattle during my 20's, leaving in 1985 (why did I do that??). I have visited regularly over the years but had felt saddened (and angry) because I have felt that Seattle had lost its soul over the years. This post brought tears to my eyes as I saw that Seattle's soul is still there. There is no place in the world I love more than Seattle. Thank you, Downtown Association.
this is so beautiful and inspiring. I love Seattle. I was there 2 months before the outbreak, I am planning to go back when things settle down. Hang on Seattle!
Living at Seattle's Mirabella Retirement Center located in the South Lake Union, I feel safe from the big bad virus taking over the world at this time, But, we will win because we love our country and our beautiful towns.
Kudos everyone who is doing job by stayin home and preventing the virus from spreading. We will be role model for every other place. This video is really emotional for everyone who love and live in seattle. #WegotthisSeattle
Wow! Didn't think this would make me so emotional. Have not worked downtown in a while, and I miss it cause there are so many amazing places to go. See you all on the flip side of this!
I absolutely agree. As I watched, I could not get past the glaring fact that this video shows Seattle at her cleanest in God-only-knows how long. Yes, the "comeback" will be spectacular, but spectacularly... what? Will we continue to maintain that beauty we just saw in the video, because we've learned our lesson? Or will we destroy it the first chance we get, like spoiled children?
THANK YOU SEATTLE, YOU ARE AWESOME! and thank you to the fantastic leadership we have in our BLUE state. Thanks for filling in for the lack of federal leadership :)
Seeing this makes me sad and proud; I use to live near Seattle. Now, I work in Nashville, TN and regardless of time of day the still have more traffic than what I see in this video. I leave in a small town just outside of Nashville with just as much traffic.
My grandparents don’t live far they live in Bellevue so they’re having the same thing as well as Ronald Cle Elum Wenatchee Leavenworth Roslyn and Seattle are having
I love the We Got This Seattle flag on top of the Space Needle. Thanks for doing this video; I don't think there would be any other way I'd have seen it.
I had no idea this was happening here. I had no idea a once bustling city could be this deserted. You know why i didnt know? because i have been in my house for over 5 weeks.
This had to have been filmed VERY early in the morning around the city. The streets ARE NOT this empty. There are still people out doing whatever... jogging in groups, walking with their kids and dogs, pick up basketball in the parks. All day long, every day.
I don’t live in the main city, however I live close to it. And to see the entirety of pike place market completely empty is unsettling. Seattle has never been this quiet. It looks like a ghost town.
I miss and love you Seattle I was working right over there at A union job right there on John at and Westlake by Denny park at the Citizen M hotel I love Jack’s barbecue the yellow dot homegrown everything around it was awesome always try a different coffee shops in different places to eat and the bars around there are cool I miss taking the 40 bus and then taking it to the Sounder train I can take the Sounder train back to Auburn I miss all that you guys be safe I love you all
Spent my last 2 years in Seattle.
It's one of the most beautiful place in the world.
Thank you Seattle, and awesome people in Seattle.
Thank you.
Bullshit it sucks like all us big cities!
We're glad you loved our home as much as we do! You're always welcome back anytime. 🙂

You will soon have all the time in.the world to enjoy being homeless and hungry.
May we not only come back, but come back better than before.
yes, Seattle will survive
Bring the SuperSonics, City “Leaders”
Kudos Downtown Seattle Assoc -- you nailed it! It's beautiful, chilling, and inspiring. Love our city.
Chilling is such an apt word.

Thank you for everything you're doing for us

Are you ok? I'm here if you need to talk.
This was an amazing video. We will get through this. Stay strong Seattle !
Stay blessed our beautiful city ❤️❤️❤️
I want to go home.
But home was in the rhythm
The rhythm was the city
The city framed the mountains
The mountains made my comfort.
Now I am out, and it is cold.
In my bed. My bed is silent.
It listens for the city.

Bravo. Bravo. Bravo! Seattle's heart is in the right place.

Very inspirational and moving. The first city to be hit will be the first to recover...
Beautiful to those that created this, spent the hours editing this... THANK YOU
Thanking my home town for inspiration an ocean away in Paris - we will win!
Thank you seattle, for all of us who grew up here and aren’t quite ready to leave.
The heart made from the buildings room lights at the end was pretty cool
Seattle 💝... there’s no place like home.
I love my city. To all the residents that got stranded away from home, we will be here for you when this is over. We miss you too.
Wow! amazing video thanks! reminded me of all the streets I walked down for the past 13 years. Still a great city and it will come back. Much love.
Damn, that was beautiful. Eeery, through.......
Seattle, my home for 5 years. Love Seattle! Be strong Seattleites!!!!!
I miss our city - it's hard to see it like this. But we'll be back. #WeGotThis
I'm sad looking at the video, but also proud of Seattle
I know Seattle will be back better than before! Keeping you in our thoughts from Canada!
I miss Seattle. It still has my heart.
Agree! This is very well done. In the words of Frasier Crane, "Goodnight Seattle, we love you"!
Hey everybody, greetings from Seattle’s Rainier Valley. Stay safe friends and neighbors, and we will soon see each other! We will be back. Paz
I spend so much time downtown in the course of my work. It's eerie to see it so silent.
Thank you, Seattle...from Graham. We love you!
We love Graham

would be nice if we knew who produced/edited this whole thing. beautiful work.
Such a beautiful city!!
But Some thing's coming out from my eyes.
We need to be strong. n As always , we will overcome.
OK now I gotta go fix my makeup that I accidentally put on to feel normal. THIS IS SO WELL DONE. Friday Harbor thanks you.
I bet you fall for Ron Howard movies too...
@@DDumbrille I bet you are fun at parties too...
Me too, have tears in my eyes. I think only true Seattlilte will share your feeling
The bluest skies you've ever seen, are in Seattle
Really beautiful and poignant ! Thanks for filming it!
Looking forward to the celebration once this is over.
Very emotional and inspiring. Thank you for doing this.
I miss Seattle so much. :(
Sad to see such a beautiful city empty. I was there for two weeks last year in July such a beautiful state . Come back stronger Washington .
That's the cleanest it's ever looked!

THANK YOU SEATTLE, YOU ARE AWESOME! and thank you to the fantastic leadership we have in our BLUE state. Thanks for filling in for the lack of federal leadership :)
Hell yes my city *Did that!!!
Stay Strong Seattle #wegotthisseattle
Thank you @SparkCreativeSeattle.
Thank you!
NWBuckeyeOne Yes!! I really want to know how to find this track!!
Great beautiful video. Thanks
Welp. Time to finally cry lol
This is beautiful, it made me cry as a small business owner - it struck a deep chord. Who is the music by?
I want to know the same thing! My shazaam wouldn’t catch it.
From up in the islands I send you love and peaceful thoughts.
Wow, and just about every city throughout the WORLD is going to have to deal with this. Unbelievably unbelievable.
Beautiful my city ... my beloved people let us join forces that this will end one day and let us not forget that God is on our side.
Seeing this makes me sad and proud; I use to live near Seattle. Now, I work in Nashville, TN and regardless of time of day the still have more traffic than what I see in this video. I leave in a small town just outside of Nashville with just as much traffic.
Pretty sure I saw Charlton Heston driving a red convertible down 5th Ave
My grandparents don’t live far they live in Bellevue so they’re having the same thing as well as Ronald Cle Elum Wenatchee Leavenworth Roslyn and Seattle are having
Thank you ❤️
Been there at least 10 times. The best city in the world.!
Beautiful! Nice job to whomever put this together!!
powerful video
I love the We Got This Seattle flag on top of the Space Needle. Thanks for doing this video; I don't think there would be any other way I'd have seen it.
I love my seattle ! Come back strong Seattle !
Excellent video Downtown Seattle Association!
I had no idea this was happening here. I had no idea a once bustling city could be this deserted. You know why i didnt know? because i have been in my house for over 5 weeks.
Beautiful video
Well done DSA and MID. I miss you all - Debbie
Inspiring. But hell, the economy is in a tailspin. Stay strong, for a long time.
Beautiful! They might have meant to state 880,000 residents in the descriptive copy! Can this be corrected?
Thank you for this video. ❤️
Great video! Love my city! #WeGotThisSeattle
Beautiful.
I just hope that when this is all over with that the whole planet throws a global block party.
keep on living seattle!!!
Right now strength is silence and love is an empty street.
This had to have been filmed VERY early in the morning around the city. The streets ARE NOT this empty. There are still people out doing whatever... jogging in groups, walking with their kids and dogs, pick up basketball in the parks. All day long, every day.
Yeah that's all nice and everything is slow motion camera work....but you missed the tents.
#WeGotThisSeattle
Where are all the homeless?
Wow It's sad seen my beautiful Seattle looking so empty but it is necessary to help combat the spread of the virus
Seattle looks so clean.
Last person leaving SEATTLE, please leave the lights on
I think that was the last time anything even close to this hit here. I've been thinking about that time a lot lately.
I don’t live in the main city, however I live close to it. And to see the entirety of pike place market completely empty is unsettling. Seattle has never been this quiet. It looks like a ghost town.
I miss you, Hometown.
I miss and love you Seattle I was working right over there at A union job right there on John at and Westlake by Denny park at the Citizen M hotel I love Jack’s barbecue the yellow dot homegrown everything around it was awesome always try a different coffee shops in different places to eat and the bars around there are cool I miss taking the 40 bus and then taking it to the Sounder train I can take the Sounder train back to Auburn I miss all that you guys be safe I love you all
Was the dim, weak light in these scenes intentional? At what time of day was this recorded?
I miss my Seattle
Great job Spark! #wegotthisseattle
Thanks!
There's another one on our page. :)
Almost four months later now, and how are we doing?
