It’s wild to me that this is not the entrance to the King County admin building and is instead a loading dock
@KromanDavid Correction: this is the King County Courthouse. There was/is a tunnel south of City Hall Park (that I think goes under the park) to the bldg. It’d be great to make this the main entrance — but cost is huge. Tens of millions.
@KromanDavid It used to be! Let me find my favorite picture of that spot.
@KromanDavid I’ve thought the same thing so many times. Almost as wild to me is preserving Dilling Way and whatever the underground structure is adjacent to Dilling
@KromanDavid It was the original entrance with grand marble staircases leading up to the elevator lobby. Someone made a bad decision to convert to loading dock and all the marble and stairs were removed. There is still some marble flooring left. Restoration would be lovely but very costly.
