Rainier Tower
One of the distinctive downtown skyscrapers and a perennial favorite of Seattle Architecture Tours is the Rainier Tower, designed by Minoru Yamasaki, the Seattle-born architect best known for designing the infamous twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.
It has an unusual appearance, being built atop an 11-storey, 37 m (121 ft) concrete pedestal base that tapers towards ground level, like an inverted pyramid - it doesn't look the safest place to be when the Big One hits, methinks.
