The Seattle Tower is a 27-story skyscraper in downtown Seattle, Washington. The building is located on 1222 Third Avenue and is known as Seattle's first art-deco tower.[1] Its distinctive, ziggurat exterior is clad in 33 shades of brick designed to effect a gradient which lightens from the bottom to the top of the building. This is said to have been inspired by local rock formations. [2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975[3] and is also a designated city landmark.[4]
