Nice details in the lobby and elevators, but same sad story as the Amazon HQ. Once you exit the elevator it looks like Herman Miller threw up (at least on my floor). http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=124 You should take a walk across the street to the Exchange Building on 1st and Marrion (actually enter on 2nd).

You walk in the lobby and it's like a tiny mini-version of the lobby pictured above. But five feet beyond the lobby and it turns into standard (circa 1980) office building decor. Disappointing. I wish they built more modern buildings with the level of detail above. It’s funny… the Amazon HQ (the former veteran’s hospital here in Seattle) and the building is a gorgeous Art Deco complex.
