In the heart of downtown Seattle, there is a brick building which will soon be towered over by a new developing sky scraper. As I was walking by, I was struck by the shear size of development which has taken place over the last century. Buildings which once were the prize of their day, the Smith building, are now dwarfed by buildings two to three times their size. Even the Columbia Tower building is 3/4 the size of the former World Trade Center in NYC. At 80 stories it towers over Seattle and our bit of metropolia here in the northwest.
