Description:
William Justen, a longtime resident of downtown Seattle and current homeowner of Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue provided his top 10 most exciting changes taking place in the neighborhood. In addition to new retail and apartment development, William pointed to the tremendous expansion of in-city corporations such as Amazon.com, which is soon to break ground on another three towers comprising some 3 million square feet of office space for an estimated 15,000 employees. His #1 most exciting change is the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the impending waterfront park, which will create a world-class front door to downtown Seattle and rival seaside promenades in Vancouver, B.C., San Francisco and San Diego.
