Photographer’s Note

This is Seattle from the Puget Sound. I took a water tour of Seattle a couple weeks ago and learned a little about Seattle and took a few pictures.

On the left side of the picture you can see the Space Needle which was built for the 1962 World's Fair. It was the architect's idea of what office buildings might look like in the 21st century.

On the right side of the picture you can see the tallest building in Seattle which is also the shortest 76 story building in the world. The origional plan was to have a normal 76 story building but it would have made it too tall for aircraft coming in to land at the Sea/Tac airport so instead of knocking a couple stories off the ownder decided to shave a few inches off each floor.
