Elaine Liffgens led us on a site visit of 450 Alaskan Way, where rustic roots find a contemporary home. A wooden trellis encourages movement through the lobby, which is long and linear due to below-grade parking constraints. The exposed brick of an adjacent building acts as a feature wall, highlighting the historic character of the Pioneer Square neighborhood. On the 9th floor, a lounge and amenity spaces lead to a roof deck offering panoramic views of the Seattle Waterfront and downtown.

Our Seattle office gathered outside Pier 56 this morning as temperatures dropped and light waned under the natural phenomena in the sky. Together we witnessed the moon eclipse the sun in near totality using make-shift camera obscuras and protective glasses.
