A park in which a Spire is the center attraction.
Located where Magnuson Park is now located....replacing the intended sports fields and blaring lights.
It would wind organically from the perimeter of the park, gradually inward, and would peak in the center, well above the 76 building downtown...perhaps as high as 2000-3000 feet...the worlds tallest and largest man-made spire..an attraction far superior to the space needle or monorail, as a means of attracting attention..
As visitors would make their way along the path upwards, all along the way, the walls would offer entrances going back down with the ocassional dark (fluorescent brightened) elevators.
The point of the walk is to make it all the way to the top but this return passage carving much of the inside would also be a corridor of light shows, a traveling museum (showing off peices from all the worlds best), and art of the people...not the preeminant art, but all the crafts and creativity of ordinary people.
Some shops and other attractions would exist towards the bottom.
A quicktube would wind underground from Aspire...down to university crossing over at the arboretum, and moving down somewhere along 23rd or so until I-90, winding around jose rizal park..moving south to spokane st, and over to Harbor Island..a future Seattle WhaleShark Ferry Station.
