Seattle's greatest testament to design review is...pretty okay looking.

Comments

We owe everything to design review. If they went with another brick color it would have been an affront to god and humanity. Looking at it would have made me shit and throw up. now it’s beautiful

Safeway has been smart compared to other big box retailers by redeveloping its footprints one by one, getting revenue from the development, and also getting a base of customers right above its stores

I think there's at least one of those in every Seattle zip code.

Is it just me or does the brick look too consistent? Like maybe we needed 2 or 3 more types and colors in there.

looks like three different buildings blended together. probably would have been equally meh without design review

I worked on that job for two years and it was a nightmare beginning to end due to the constant changes. I can't imagine the people who spent the previous 8 years fighting to have it built.
