My life. Documented.

 

I am an architectural designer living and working in the Seattle area. This blog is used to document my travels around the world.

I seem to be getting a knack for hearing about interesting activities as of late (i.e. cocktail party at a chocolate factory). Over the past year I have been reading a blog that tracks the condo scene in Seattle. Not that I am in the market to buy immediately… but I want to understand the market by time I am shopping. Anyway, the operators of this blog (called UrbnLivn… Urban Living in case you needed help with that one) organized a meet-up for the readers of the blog to get together and share their condo shopping, buying, or vague interest experiences. Hard to say no to free food and something fun to do after work. But what sold me on it was the fact that it was held on the 75th floor of the Columbia Tower in downtown Seattle (the highest point in the city). The meet-up with sponsored by the Columbia Tower Club… which is essentially a country club… $1500 initiation fee plus $150/month to get in the door. So how could you say no. I inticed a few of my co-workers to go with me to reduce the awkwardness factor. Here are some fun pictures of the event.

Also, the Women’s Bathroom in the Columbia Tower Club is rated the 6th highest restroom with the best view in America! I didn’t get to see it for obvious reasons but I sent my camera in for a look…

I also feel it should be noted that there is a Starbucks on the 40th floor of the Columbia Tower. P.S. I can see my building from this picture… can you…
