This building is only 32 feet wide at the base — exceptionally narrow for a building of that height. For comparison, 1310 East Union is 40 feet wide, but it’s only 65 feet tall. Nothing else remarkable about this project as far as I can tell, but worth noting as a good example of an innovative design solution for an awkwardly shaped site.

Seattle is doing away with minimums in commercial/multi-family zones and near light rail stations. However, developers will keep building the parking because they perceive that is what people want, and they are right. If transit sucks, then people need another way to get around - enter the car because not a lot of people are crazy enough to get on their bikes, or consider walking a viable means of getting around...

One thing the city *should* do is to move away from enforcing a mandatory minimum parking in favor of a san francisco mandatory maximum. That and build some actual mass trasit *ugghhh*.
