The Columbia Center is the tallest skyscraper in the downtown Seattle skyline and also the tallest building in the State of Washington, and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Standing at a height of 937 feet (285 m), it was the tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi River. It contains 83 stories making it the building with the most stories west of the Mississippi. Construction of this building began in 1982 and finished in 1985. It was designed by Chester L. Lindsey Architects.
The base of the building is clad in Rosa Purino Carnelian granite, giving the building an elegant appearance. The building's structure is composed of three geometric arches, causing the building to appear like three towers standing side by side.
