Rainier Tower
Rainier Tower is a 31-story, skyscraper in the Metropolitan Tract of Seattle, Washington, at 1301 Fifth Avenue. It was designed by Minoru Yamasaki, who designed the World Trade Center in New York City as well as the IBM Building, which is on the corner across the street from Rainier Tower to the southeast. Its construction was completed in 1977.
The skyscraper has an unusual appearance, being built atop an 11-storey, concrete pedestal base that tapers towards ground level, like an inverted pyramid.
Beneath the tower is Rainier Square, an underground shopping mall connecting with One Union Square, which is owned by the University of Washington. Both the mall and tower were originally named after Rainier Bank, which was merged in the 1980s into Security Pacific, which was eventually merged into BankAmerica.
Locals often refer to it as the "Beaver Building" as its physical appearance looks like a tree being felled by a beaver. It has also been referred to as the "golf tee" building.
