X-seed 4000 March 8th, 2003, 12:19 PM Those are the best pics I've seen of the tower! Looks very shiney! 8.0/10
SUNNI March 8th, 2003, 12:49 PM nice building tall, and definately dominates the skyline!
9/10
DamienK March 8th, 2003, 01:51 PM One of my favourite American skyscrapers - I love the slightly wavy facade with the blue glass and yellow mullions, and the way they designed the plantroom at the top with a pitched white block and spiraling curve. Looks great from all angles. 9/10
The Messiah March 8th, 2003, 02:18 PM Yeah damn fututeristic
Like the curves on the tower,and the glass facade is also very good.Can't tell you one thing i don't like about this tower!
9.0/10

renell March 8th, 2003, 04:59 PM its quite slim, and it has different sides, which depend from where your standing...
damn, i like 8.5
RafflesCity March 10th, 2003, 07:13 AM 8.5/10
One thing for sure: this building cannot be described as boring. No matter what angle you look, it has something interesting to offer, and it looks real good in the skyline.
JiminyCricket March 10th, 2003, 09:34 AM 9.5, while it doesn't hold the fort down like the Columbia tower, it is my favorite scraper in Seattle. Great building!
bay_area March 10th, 2003, 06:20 PM nice height and the design is easy on the eyes as well.
Caledon1981 March 10th, 2003, 07:13 PM OOH!! i love this tower!!! 9/10
Venezuelacom March 11th, 2003, 06:37 PM wow very impressive desing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liz L March 13th, 2003, 08:05 PM You're so right, RafflesCity - this scraper is definitely NOT boring...
8/10 (maybe I could have given it an 8.5...)- Very nice contrast between white mullions(?) and the glass curtainwall, which is a very nice shade of blue IMO, and really dances with the light. The contrasts between right angles and curves and broad and narrow sides mean that the tower has different "faces", which makes it much more interesting. And these contrasts are pulled together well, for the most part, to make a harmonious whole. It also has good height, especially seen from the narrow side.
The roof, however, though it does seem to fit in with the rest of the structure, might have been a bit more interesting - and I can't tell how well the base works...

TropicalSQ744 May 10th, 2003, 04:03 PM Looks a little boring looking from some angles but generally this building rocks! :D Some how the colours make it look very American.. Almost like patriotism is embedded in this structure.. :) The facade is very pleasing to the eye.

Pengui November 16th, 2005, 06:26 AM Classy. Another good example of a boxy tower that doesn't look boxy.
The color scheme is very pretty too. The roof is a bit awkward.

lancetop December 4th, 2005, 08:51 AM I rated this disappointing high-rise 3 or less :no:
This is an enormous building, and it had enormous design possibilites..but in my view it fell flat on it's silvery face!
It was completed in 1989, but looks more like 1982. A boring tower built in 1982~~~
Quite simply put, this tower is a DULLARD :no:

henry hill September 18th, 2008, 11:09 PM Matter of the taste. For me he looks like the perfect pattern of the today's tower block. Of contemporary tower block. Unfortunately, own for it, there is no it for some reason. Of the magic, something shocking.
