The principal element in
Seattle's master plan for
freeway air-rights development
(above), the recently completed
Washington State Convention
and Trade Center reinforces
and expands on the concept

first germinated by Freeway
Park (1976) and the adjoining
Pigott Memorial Corridor
(1984): to ameliorate the
impacts of Interstate 5 and
reunite the downtown
neighborhoods it divided.
