In downtown Seattle WA, near the "Seattle Underground", are the remains of a logging flume, or "skid" where the logs were sent from the top of the coastal cliff down to Puget Sound to be floated to the nearby sawmills. As erosion and debris tore out the high spots and filled in the low spots under the flume, the coastal cliff became a steep slope. When the wooden flume was in place, it was a slightly better place to sleep off a night of drunken brawling than in the constant drizzle and rain of the outdoors. The loggers, bums, sawyers, sailors and pikers hung out under the flume. Eventually a row of bars, brothels and flop houses sprang up alongside the "skid road".
