Seattle Central Library .15 mi
Mahalie: The curtain wall at the downtown SPL was engineered specifically for this unique building by Rem Koolhaas | OMA. The perforated sheet metal creates static louvers that allow light in from some angles and not others to keep heating and cooling the building efficient. I highly recommend a tour of this fascinating building! #architecture #architectural-tour #donotmiss

Metro Transit 248 ft
Tony T: Many people are confused about what the flashing lights in the University Street stop of Seattle's Metro Transit Tunnel are supposed to represent. The trick is to scan your eyes from side to side really fast. The flashing LEDs are actually a sequence of vertical slices of images related to transportation, and if your timing is just right you could catch an image of a plane, a bus, or something else hidden in this public art installation.

Westlake Park .23 mi
Tony T: No grass; trees are more of a decoration than anything. Seattle's Westlake Park is more of a plaza than a park. Still, if some major event is happening in the city, this is likely the central place to be.
