The Market Theater Gum Wall is a brick wall covered in used chewing gum, in an alleyway in downtown Seattle. It is located in Post Alley under Pike Place Market. Similar to Bubblegum Alley in San Luis Obispo, California, the Market Theater Gum Wall is a local landmark. Parts of the wall can be covered several inches thick, 15 feet high for 50 feet.The wall is by the box office for the Market Theater, and the tradition began around 1993 when patrons of Unexpected Productions' Seattle Theatresports stuck gum to the wall and placed coins in the gum blobs. Theater workers scraped the gum away twice, but eventually gave up after market officials deemed the gum wall a tourist attraction around 1999. Some people created small works of art out of gum.It was named one of the top 5 germiest tourist attractions in 2009, second to the Blarney Stone. It is the location of the start of a ghost tour, and it is a popular site with wedding photographers.A scene for the 2009 Jennifer Aniston film Love Happens was shot at the wall in 2008.On November 3, 2015, it was announced by the Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority that for the first time in 20 years the gum wall would be receiving a total scrub down for maintenance and steam cleaning, to prevent further erosion of the bricks on the walls from the sugar in the gum. Work began on November 10 and took 130 hours to complete, with over 2,350lbs of gum removed and disposed of. After the cleaning was finished on November 13, gum began to be re-added to the wall; among the first additions were memorials to the November 2015 Paris attacks.

La Biblioteca Centrale di Seattle è la struttura più importante del sistema bibliotecario pubblico di Seattle. L'edificio, alto 11 piani e realizzato in vetro e acciaio, fu aperto al pubblico il 23 maggio 2004. La biblioteca ha una superficie di 34.000 m2 e può contenere fino a un milione e quattrocentocinquantamila libri. Nel primo anno di apertura fu visitata da oltre 2 milioni di persone.StoriaSin dal 1891 c'è sempre stata una biblioteca nel centro di Seattle, tuttavia inizialmente questa non aveva degli spazi dedicati e fu spesso costretta a cambiare edificio. La Seattle Carnegie Library fu la prima biblioteca permanente ad essere collocata in un edificio specifico; inizialmente aveva una superficie di 5100 m2 e fu ingrandita nel 1946. Nonostante i lavori di espansione, la biblioteca si rivelò progressivamente troppo piccola per una città che, nel frattempo, aveva aumentato notevolmente la popolazione. Una seconda biblioteca di 19.100 m2 fu costruita al posto della vecchia Carnegie Library nel 1960 ma verso la fine degli anni '90 anche questa nuova biblioteca cominciò ad essere troppo piccola e iniziarono i progetti per costruirne una nuova.Realizzazione e DesignI fondi per la costruzione della nuova biblioteca furono trovati tramite l'emissione di una obbligazione per un valore complessivo di 196,4 milioni di dollari, inoltre anche Bill Gates, fondatore della Microsoft contribuì con 20 milioni di dollari. L'edificio fu progettato da Rem Koolhaas e Joshua Prince-Ramus in collaborazione con lo studio di architetti di Seattle LMN Architects. La biblioteca fu concepita come un'opera di celebrazione dei libri e la sua forma dall'esterno è inusuale poiché si è scelto di assoggettare la struttura dell'edificio alle funzioni che dovevano essere svolte all'interno piuttosto che il contrario.

1201 Third Avenue, formerly Washington Mutual Tower is a 235.31m, 55-story skyscraper in downtown Seattle, Washington. It is the second tallest building in the city, and the eighth tallest on the West Coast of the United States. Developed by Wright Runstad & Company, construction began in 1986 and finished in 1988. 1201 Third Avenue was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and The McKinley Architects. The building was the world headquarters of the financial company Washington Mutual from the building's opening until the company moved into the WaMu Center across the street in 2006.HistoryKohn Pedersen Fox was hired to design the tower while visiting Seattle to be interviewed as a possible candidate for the job of designing the Seattle Art Museum. It was the first major office building built under Seattle’s 1985 downtown zoning plan, largely implemented in response to the Columbia Center, which called for height limits, interesting profiles, and height and density bonuses for public amenities to create a 24-hour downtown. The tower took advantage of all the height bonuses for public amenities that the 1985 plan called for including an entrance to the Metro Transit Tunnel, retail space, day care, public plaza, sculptured top, hillside public escalators, and lobby/atrium public access, as well as donating $2.5 million for off-site housing. By providing the amenities the designers were able to add 28 stories to the tower and almost double the base floor area ratio of the site. The building was built on the site of the 12-story Savoy Hotel which was imploded in 1986; however, the architects incorporated the historic Brooklyn Building into the design of the tower.
