""It's In The PI" Globe, atop near-waterfront tower" Top 5 Page for this destination Artwork / Architecture Tip by glabah

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper had a 146 year tradition of delivering news to Seattle residents and those of the surrounding area. Sometmes stories would appear as far south as our local paper in Portland, Oregon.

While not very tall, the PI globe, with the rotating caption that says "It's in the PI", is very close to the waterfront, and therefore is still a prominent feature from certain vantage points. Even with all the much taller buildings, the fact it is along the waterfront makes the PI globe stand out.

It is especially prominent at night.

Unfortunately, in recent years, the PI has moved to web based delivery only, and there are vacant paper boxes scattered all over the city, even now, well after the paper has ceased publication of its paper edition.
