The Crab Pot is a lively and famously casual seafood restaurant on Seattle's waterfront, located on Pier 57. It is known for its unique and interactive dining experience, particularly the "Seafeast."

Guests are given a bib and a mallet, encouraging a hands-on, communal eating style. The restaurant's fun and informal atmosphere makes it a popular destination for tourists and a memorable experience for groups and families.

The Seattle Convention Center (SCC) is the Pacific Northwest's premier convention center, known for its unique integration into the downtown Seattle urban landscape.
Key Buildings: The SCC operates as a dual-building campus:
Arch: The original building (opened in 1988), famously built partially over the Interstate 5 Freeway and connected to Freeway Park.
Summit: The major, modern expansion (opened in 2023). It is described as one of North America's first high-rise (vertical) convention centers and has achieved LEED Platinum certification for sustainability.
Capacity: The opening of Summit nearly doubled the SCC's total event space, allowing Seattle to host multiple large conventions simultaneously, such as PAX West and Emerald City Comic Con.
Impact: The center is strategically located in the heart of Seattle's retail and entertainment core, and its construction has helped connect various downtown neighborhoods.

Columbia St. & 4th Ave. (Seattle)
1. The Columbia Center
Main City Landmark: The most defining feature of this intersection (or its immediately adjacent block, bounded by 4th Ave., 5th Ave., Columbia St., and Cherry St.) is the Columbia Center.
Tallest Building: Standing over 900 feet tall with 76 floors, the Columbia Center (formerly Columbia Seafirst Center and Bank of America Tower) is the tallest building in Seattle and Washington State. Its construction in the 1980s was controversial due to its massive size, which contributed to the passage of laws implementing stricter restrictions on downtown building sizes (the 1989 Citizen's Alternative Plan).
Tourist Attraction: The building houses the Sky View Observatory on the 73rd floor, which offers the highest public viewing area west of the Mississippi River.
2. Historical and Commercial Significance
Financial District Hub: The area is situated in the heart of the Financial District, containing numerous Class-A office spaces for banks, law firms, and other powerful organizations.
Urban Development: This corner has historically been a site of intensive commercial growth since the early 20th century, fueled by prosperity following the Klondike Gold Rush. Historical buildings in the vicinity, sometimes designed in styles like Romanesque Revival, once housed major civic organizations like the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
New Development: The area is a focal point for modern development, including the planned 4th & Columbia Mixed-use Tower project, a massive proposed high-rise aimed at creating a transit-oriented, mixed-use "vertical village" to activate the 9-to-5 business district into a 24/7 community.
3. Street Context
Street Slope: Like many streets in Downtown Seattle, Columbia St. in this area is on a steep slope, which notably allows multi-story buildings like the Columbia Center to have street access from several different levels.
