A rather funny sculpture of a red Popsicle. I have no idea what the meaning is, but it is 10 feet tall and adorns the corner.

Located downtown, this building once housed the Seattle Times’ printing press (up until 1931). Now used as an office building, its unique structure and elegant exterior remain as a gemstone for the city of Seattle. #architecture Photo: joeszilagyi
