We visited West Seattle. Good thing we had our pocket dictionary with us to get past our loss for words. Even the 1950s house next door looks stunned. Well, it is a lot of down-tempo green.

Seriously? How the hell did this get ok’d by the design review board? What a monstrosity.

This was an apartment conversion.
From your balcony, you can watch the cars come and go at the qwik-e-mart
across the alley below, and breath deeply of the vapors from the McDonald’s grill
that is just to the windward side.

So green and flat, and boxy and looming. I am vexed this thing was allowed. I have put all my hope in the wee pointy trees growing fast and hiding the place.

Thanks CSC, I knew I could count on you to comment thoughtfully on some of our architectural accidents over here on the West side.
It would be nice to see this place “loft”ed into the Sound and turned into an artificial reef.

Why are you guys only complaining about this “monstrosity” now? If you’ve been in the area you would know that it’s been around since 1985! The POS rental house next door looks worse than this thing.

I happen to love my condo at Loft 42. You people suck.
