EspañolWASHINGTON MUTUAL TOWER
The tower seen from street level on 2nd Ave. between Pike St. and Union St.
The 'Washington Mutual Tower' is the second tallest skyscraper in the downtown Seattle skyline. Standing at a height of 235 meters (772 feet), and containing 55 stories, it is also the eighth tallest skyscraper on the West Coast. Construction began in 1986 and finished in 1988. It was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and The McKinley Architects.
It once stood as the world headquarters of Washington Mutual, a financial company, and is located at 1201 Third Avenue. ''The New York Times'' named it one of the three best new office buildings in the United States in 1988, and in the May 1989 issue of ''Architecture Magazine'' Walter McQuade called it "perhaps the best recent addition to any U.S. skyline." Seattlites have voted the 55-story skyscraper as one of their favorite buildings [1].
