We spent part of this Valentine's day doing what we love...sketching together in our town. We spread out around Columbia Center, which is the tallest building in the city. The view from the 40th floor Starbucks isn't what it used to be and it now costs $20 to ride the elevator up to the 73rd floor. So I spent my time sketching out the windows of the 4th floor.
Liz and Peggy found warm spots on an outdoor patio with a good view.
Sharing our sketches. The Smith Tower got a lot of attention today. It opened in 1914 and was the first skyscraper in Seattle as well as tallest building west of the Mississippi for many decades. It is 35 floors.
My first sketch was a window view of that same Smith Tower.
Then I moved to the other side of the building to sketch the Rainier club dwarfed by new skyscrapers.
