Let's see, what's a good nickname for this place? I mean, anything beats the "Fourth & Battery Building," which is its official moniker. OK, it's owned by Martin Selig and it's vaguely modern. How about "Selig's Space Station?" Urgh, I give up! For years and years, I've had no opinion about this building. It was merely there. It always reminds me of the alpha building in a suburban office park. God knows it's just that charming. Anyhow, I worked here yesterday. It's been quite a while since I've labored and guess what? It hasn't changed a bit! Since I've been out of the workforce, nobody's figured out a way to hook into a computer network via mental telepathy or anything cool like that. No, office work is still office work. But this place was pretty super-nice and they're having me back next week. And once again, I shall be a workin' man.
Seattle is quite a beautiful city, no doubt about that. The Belltown neighborhood doesn’t swing that way. Much of it is downright hideously ugly. If not for all that ugliness, there’d be nothing to see. I’ve lived here for 20 years and I’ve only just started taking notice. Please join me on this odyssey of unsightliness as we try to figure out why poor Belltown looks so bad.
