Yes, my Dad helped work on a bunch of buildings around the Seattle area. To say he was a handyman would be a bit of an understatement. He recalls riding his motorcycle home on I-5 in the evenings after the workers were gone for the day near our house when it was still gravel waiting for paving.
Here he is in February 1991 during construction on the very very top of the 2nd and Seneca building in Seattle sitting on top of one of the concrete supports for it's unique emerald green dome. One of the distinctive rooftops in the city. While he does have a hard hat on, notice no safety rope or harness. OSHA would have kittens if they saw this on a job site these days. But, 30 years ago I don't recall him wearing a harness much at all. In the background is, of course, the Space Needle.
You can see the dome at this link. It is lit up at night, too. Seattle is known as the Emerald City - for all of the greenery in the mountains around the city.
Building
Stumbled across this showing growth in 3 years more recently. Some of it is crazy where the tallest buildings are in downtown.

Christmas, I dig your truck and the wheels and tires look great. Dad's was manual steering so he stuck to the smaller tires and wheels.

Outside has been repainted a darker green and the owner mentions that, but the interior and underhood firewall shots are what I'm talkin' about.
