Look ahead for a tall, bronze-colored building with long, horizontal bands of windows stretching up high above the bustling street, set between a shiny rounded glass tower and a slim, ribbed black building.
Welcome to 1111 Third Avenue-where Seattle’s sharpest minds have been hard at work since 1980! Now, back when this building was just rising up, the city skyline was much shorter, and this tower became the 8th tallest in town. Imagine the excitement… and maybe a few nervous window washers dangling from those dizzying heights! The building’s sleek exterior, made of special concrete and striking “solar bronze” glass, even changes its mood with the sunlight. It’s like the building itself is trying on a new pair of sunglasses every day.
You’ll notice an outdoor plaza here-don’t miss it. It’s not just for lunch breaks: it’s actually award-winning, dotted with seats, tables, and even whimsical bronze statues by Robert Graham. Some say the statues seem to whisper secrets from the city’s past if you listen closely enough… or maybe that’s just the lawyers from Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, the major law firm inside, discussing their next big case. So, take a moment, look up at the endless windows, and let your imagination run free-just don’t try to count all 34 floors, or you’ll be here till tomorrow!
