Landmark Trivia
- At 60 stories it is not remarkably tall, and it is not as close to the cluster of downtown skyscrapers as one might think judging only from the typical angle from which Seattle skyline photographs are taken.
- The structure is 605 feet (184 m) high and 138 feet (42 m) wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons.
