Architectural Styles

Modern urban architecture is all over Seattle, especially in the downtown. Museums, civic centers and offices are generally built in futuristic style (Space Needle) and unfortunately unique wooden buildings from the pioneer times burnt down in the Great Fire of Seattle, but it is not impossible to find European style buildings which give a historical insight among the skysrapers of the city.
