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.

What is that structure used for?
I have no idea. All I know is that it leads underground. I dunno, maybe it goes to a place where we can confer with the mole people.
This is actually an escape hatch from the Battery Street tunnel.
