OK this is a weird one. I took this picture the other day of the Washington Mutual Tower and I kind-a like it but don’t know why!
I don’t think there is anything special about the building, I mean it’s not the tallest in Seattle or anything (it’s the second) and to be honest it’s not even called the Washington Mutual Tower anymore, it’s actually called the “1201 Third Avenue” (but I like the old name more). Although some people call it the “Spark Plug” which is kind of funny I guess.
The image was shot just after the sun went down and the lights in the building were on.
So what do I like about the image? Well the building is a cool shape and symmetrical, which I think looks good. It has loads of windows that make a cool pattern (I’m struggling aren’t I?) – I like the little square box on the top. Anyway, I liked it enough to post.
So what about the building? Well apparently it’s an office block and was built in 1985, it’s 772 feet high and the 60th highest building in the US. That’s all I could be bothered to find out. Oh and it looks cool against a dark blue sky.
Cater found today that he likes Goldfish, quite a lot!
