Completion of Phase Two of the Seattle Civic Center campus marks a significant increase in the amount of open space in Seattle’s government district. Water extends through the new City Hall building and down the dramatic Grand Stairs, culminating in the Scrim Pool. Water jets create a festive atmosphere, drawing people into the plaza. A vivid red glass wall echoes the view of a typical Northwest sunset, and the stone paving of the plaza shimmers like the waters of Puget Sound below.
