The upper floors include outdoor terraces with sweeping views of Lake Union, downtown Seattle, the Space Needle, and the Olympic Mountains. The south-facing ground floor retail space spills out onto a large, tree-lined plaza featuring public artwork, creating a vibrant street-level experience for pedestrians, visitors, and employees.
