Seattle to Remain Famous for Coffee and Rain
Thanksgiving Pairing Suggestion: Dessert Isn't Just a Meal
Seattlest rode the open-faced and manned elevators up the Smith Tower to the Chinese Room on the 35th floor about a year ago. An ill-timed Americano made us have to take a piss up there which led us into the stairwell where the bathrooms are and also enabled us to discover a chain and across the stair leading up with a small sign that said something like "Private residence. Turn around, little Seattlest, and go take your piss before heading home to your Wallingford duplex." Which we did. That's the closest we ever got to seeing the legendary Smith Tower apartment.
This LiveJournal post scraped some pictures from an architectural firm's website, though. We have yet to see any pictures from inside the light.

My folks visited Smith Tower last weekend -- and learned that the current penthouse dwellers are expecting their second child. Seeing as how this space isn't exactly awesome for child-rearing (getting in requires traversing at least one flight of stairs), this place could be back on the market soon.
Wow - fantastic tip. I can't see this place showing up on Craigslist anytime soon, though.
