Smith Tower's historic observation deck and Chinese Room

Smith Tower was completed in 1914 and is one of the earliest skyscrapers built on the U.S. West Coast. The building preserves historic interior spaces, including the ornate 'Chinese Room' and an observation deck that provides views over Pioneer Square and Elliott Bay. It remains a designated historic landmark in Seattle and houses offices, a museum component, and public viewing areas. The tower's preservation highlights early 20th-century commercial architecture in the city.
