It is important to use activities to make spaces more inviting. An amphitheater space would be great. An interactive fountain would be great. In the plaza have busker spaces. We should have art, both permanent and temporary, outside as well as inside.
Art can help make it a city hall inclusive of all of the people of Seattle.
Include all citizens. Some are polite and some are not - the Civic Center should include all. The plaza should be lively, informal, warm, inviting. Precise geometry can be off putting but can be made to work. In the design the plaza access looks very limited.
