Seattle´s Skyline Will Change by 2030 | 4 Tallest Upcoming Skyscrapers in Seattle

[@merrywalsh2809]

I lived downtown from 2006 to 2019. It was fabulous. A real boom town. I counted 60 cranes on the skyline at one time! I watched several skyscrapers go up. I saw the largest (at the time) tunnel boring machine making the waterfront tunnel. I saw them tear down the old 1950 era double decker waterfront viaduct and rebuild massive piers. What engineering marvels, and Seattle has been doing grand things like this throughout its existence. It is such a walkable city too. I got rid of my car, rented out my deeded parking, and used that money to rent a boat slip on Lake Union in downtown. Could walk to my boat, take it to Lake Washington or out through the locks and into the Puget Sound.

I lived here since 1992. My first apartment was a one bedroom in a historic brick building on Denny for $450 a month. That building was bulldozed. Now it’s an anonymous Chinese Trump tower that no one can afford. Seattle people now live on the streets an steal anything they can and impossible rent is why

Seattle is booming its becoming the Manhattan of the west coast sooo much development one of my favorite cities

[@californiamade5608]

Lmao, nope. You gotta surpass San Francisco and LA first. Both are which are building towers of their own. San Francisco is the second most densely populated city in the US after NYC. It’s also built way more densely, than Seattle, and has more number of completed skyscrapers, as mentioned. San Francisco is the true Manhattan of the west. They share similarities. The waterfront, bridge, density, public transportation (obviously NYC is way better) but you get my l point.

@@californiamade5608 LA doesn't have a skyline lol. San Franciscos does have a nice skyline but not as many >150m skyscrapers as Seattle. Seattle have about double SF's skyscrapers. SF has 27, Seattle has 52, NY has 309. Those are facts as of October 2022.

[@californiamade5608]

@@kevinmanan1304 you are lying out your behind. Seattle has 24 over 492 feet (150 M) San Francisco has 28, because they are constructing 30 S Van Ness which adds to the count. I know my numbers. Los Angeles has 33 skyscrapers. The most of any city on the west coast. If Seattle had 52 it would be the 4th largest skyline in the US surpassing Houston. 🤣 so you’re wrong. Also, not sure where you got that from but Google is free. And so is access to information released by council on tall buildings and urban habitat. Seattle is the 7th largest skyline in the US, after San Francisco. LA is 5th, Houston is 4th, Miami, 3rd, then Chicago, NYC. ✌🏼

@@californiamade5608 LA is all sprawl; doesn't have a skyline lol. Seattle has 5 more skyscrapers under construction, unlike the leaning Millennium Tower Seattle towers don't lean which is why we have twice as many lol.

I love how walkable Seattle is, I will admit it has its problems, traffic, and a pretty dirty downtown, but if you know where to go, it’s a great city.

This video says it was posted 1 year ago but it talks about the new Rainier Tower being completed in 2020. That sounds about right, it finished somewhere around there an is now the cities second tallest at 850' I think. Very cool looking building. The original Rainier Tower that's right next door that has the skinny base was designed by the same Japanese architect that designed the original twin towers in New York City. An there's plenty of similarities between the original Rainier Tower and the World Trade Center buildings. The vertical lines on the exterior look very similar to me anyway. I really hope they build that 4C building some day, I would love to see a new tallest building in Seattle an one that reaches the Super Tall category. Seattle doesn't have one of those because of the airport just south of the city. The Columbia Tower, if that's what it's still called (Seattle's tallest) was originally supposed to be over 1000 feet but the FAA recommended shortening it an that's what they did. Despite that it was the tallest building in the USA west of the Mississippi River for a few years. I doubt Seattle will ever own that distinction again unless either that airport shuts down or all planes go to vertical takeoff & landing. Neither seems very possible. Bummer. But I'd at least like to get one super tall in Seattle, the Columbia Tower is about 60 feet short of that. Super talls are 300 meters, I don't know exactly what that is in feet but it's right about 989 feet. Columbia Tower is like 935 or so.

My favorite city! Seattle, Washington!

Now 8f Seattle could just get all the crazies inside and lock the doors.

[@austinjohnson]

All of these projects are dead or on serious ice at the moment.

[@strayspark1967]

no kidding.....

[@AnatoliaFerguson0]

Rainer square is finished. The others haven't broken ground.

[@TerryT0114]

I've been waiting on that 4c one for quite a while. Don't know if I'll ever see it but I'd love a new tallest building in the city

[@Fluffychoupikkos]

Seattle is the best city in USA !

[@tys1646]

It’s nice but idk about the best

[@jons7771]

I live here. It's a Democrat shit hole. Moving soon. Stay away...far away.

[@hairyscotman]

obviously spoken by someone that has never walked the streets of downtown....

[@Fluffychoupikkos]

@hairyscotman I haven't even been in USA but I heard they make nice coffee in Seattle

[@guinessbeer]

Seattle continues to circle the drain. What are you talking about? Zombie land

[@guinessbeer]

Seattle desperately needs new leadership. It’s a cesspool right now. Disgusting and sad actually.

[@strayspark1967]

noone will afford to live or work in them. why are they building skyscrapers that may not have much use

[@niles8102]

No parking ,legal to use drugs , HALF YES HALF the Police Officers we should have!

[@MBT06]

Why would we want parking inside dense cities? Cities are made for people and commerce not automobiles.

[@seawolverine1]

The suv and law enforcement.addicts are a real danger to the freedom of the populace...air pollution, space hogging, freedom stealijg murdering thugs that only protect the rich

[@controlfreak1963]

B.S. Downtown has turned into an open homeless sewer in the last 3 years. Businesses are moving out and people are telecommuting so all the high tech buildings are fairly empty. I expect a huge amount of empty commercial space over the next few years.

THIS is what you will find....dangerous zombies staggering everywhere and dropping their pants to defecate in front of you and your family....
