I lived directly across the street from one of the "Long Lines" towers on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, WA. [1]
It was actively maintained, with various antenna arrays being attached or removed frequently. The building below was packed full of gear and service vans were coming and going all the time.
I was sorely tempted to try and climb it over the various years I lived in Seattle, but decided it wasn't worth either the arrest or death by electrocution or ground impact!

- walrus01 5y agothe queen anne site is a wireline CO for that region, and has cellular stuff on it. The 6 GHz microwave has been out of service for many years. It used to be a primary link across the sound, to things in Kitsap, and similar. fairly typical USWest/Qwest central office otherwise.
