Rainier Tower (the Modern one that shrieks 70's architecture and seemingly pierces the earth in the foreground) and 1201 Third Avenue Tower (the late 80s Post Modern one aka "The Spark Plug" or the artist. . .er, I mean tower formerly known as WaMu) dominate this view of the skyline. Between them and quite overshadowed by the other two is the much shorter Seattle Tower, a 1920s Art Deco treasure and a national landmark. Pay no attention to the much shorter Cobb Building below on the right (with the roof garden and giant busts of stylized Indian Chiefs). It's just a building, not a tower. :-)

Not a view you would find in any Swedish town. I kinda like that non-tower building.
*sigh* Makes me miss that beautiful city!
Wonderful shot!
What a cool shot. These are the Three Bears of the architectural world! :)
Wow, what a collection of different architectural styles. I kind of like them all.
I can't say that the skyscraper look beautiful. But they look amazing. I like the samll building amongst the giants. Great shot.
I want to say that people called that the "apple core" when I was a kid.
