Day 14

Concrete, steel and glass rise 770 feet above Seattle's undulating city streets. This 55-story skyscraper, formerly the Washington Mutual Tower (and the former world headquarters of Washington Mutual Bank) , is now dubbed the 1201 3rd building. WaMu's roots dig deep, founded 120 years ago after the great Seattle fire of 1889. Their empire collapsed late last year, due to unwarranted greed and exploitation, the largest bank failure in American history.
