I’m convinced that local government needs to hire a marketing consultant in order to clearly communicate with the public. This is the steel frame City landmark Eitel Building, located at Second and Pike ever since it was built in 1904. It was first used as a medical building and even had a drug store at ground level (later in 1922 it would become a Bartell Drug). Historic Seattle has a very in-depth writeup on the building’s history here. There’s also a 1926 photo here. Back to the original point… Here’s what’s posted on the “Notice Of Proposed Land Use Action” in the ground level window of the building: Huh? So portions (floors one through six) remain despite demolition of 30k square feet? Yet a 22 story building goes up? Where exactly? On top of the building? The Eitel is sandwiched in between two other structures and the old building to the west of it has its own d istinct Land Use Action and corresonding demo plan. Before I give DPD a call to ask about it, who’s got a theory as to what this means ?

Earlier this month when we started Part 1 of the Erecting The Needle series, concrete was being poured and leg pedestals were being bolted down. Worked progressed through the Summer of 1961. Each double-column leg was made of three massive steel I beams joined at the edges. These beams were three feet wide and seventeen inches across the flanged sides. The steel would weigh 300 pounds per foot — some as many as 90 feet long. All told (with fittings), each column was to weigh more than 90,000 pounds. Check out the photos below and click on the thumbnails for larger versions. Don’t forget to check out Part 1 of this Erecting The Needle feature, if you haven’t already. [see also: Part 3, Part 4]
