Are the satellites (?) close enough to get shots of the sides of the buildings? Is this how Google models 3d buildings in Maps? If so why would it be limited to big cities, as the resolution seems so high?

This corresponds to a time when the Alaskan Way viaduct was being decomissoned, but not demolished yet. Also, the Google towers south of the Lake Union were not built yet. My guess is about 10 years ago. Seattle skyline has changed since then.
