SMITH TOWER
Go there and contact
This pretty 42-storey, 147-metre Art Deco tower, built in 1914, was for a long time the tallest building west of the Mississippi and the symbol of Seattle's prosperity. Its conical roof is inspired by the architecture of Sienese palaces, but its originality lies above all in its apparent metallic structure framing openings whose rectangular design is repeated monotonously throughout its verticality. The modernity of this architecture lies in the large space left for glass spaces. On the 35th floor, there is a panoramic view of Mount Rainier, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains but it is also the most beautiful view of Downtown, Pionner Square, the closest. Across the street is the Smith Tower Annex built by John Parkinson in 1890. Don't miss a cocktail at the speakeasy Tempérence bar in a sunset atmosphere.
