DH & I went to Seattle yesterday and explored the Seattle Art Museum, Pike Place Market, and the Seattle Public Library The library is amazing – an eleven story glass building, almost 363,000 square feet, over one million items and 400 public use computers. Materials travel around the library on a conveyor belt system. There is a gift shop that rivals high end museum shops and a coffee cafe. It is made of 2,050 tons of concrete, 4,644 tons of steel, and 9,994 square feet of glass. You have to see it to believe it, and should you ever be in downtown Seattle, I highly recommend that you check it out!

We were in Seattle last year and spent almost 3 hours in the library – it is so cool!
What an impressive building! Did they have any knitting books at the library – like maybe a Starmore??:)
