great infill for the big empty spaces that downtown Seattle seems to have here and there.
I would not make one huge iconic tower. I think if the three buildings, perhaps
redesigned somewhat taller, parhaps even a little mores slender, with a bit more angle and originality, this could have made a great office place, AND a great sort of inner-city greenspace.
Sheer height for height isn't everything.
