An invitation to relax in restful surroundings is extended by the Hilton Inn, at Seattle, Washington, planned and styled to take full advantage of the capabilities of West Coast Lumber.

Located on a major expressway near a busy metropolitan airport, the ground-hugging design of the buildings uses nearby low hills as a sound-shield to reduce noise level from both highway and airport.

Wood vertical siding, in addition to creating an atmosphere of warmth and restfulness, utilizes the great insulating qualities of this natural building material. Wood paneling in guest rooms, lobby and dining areas fulfills the promise offered by the attractive exterior.

Unusual and tasteful features further emphasize architectural ingenuity. Ceilings of spaced West Coast Douglas Fir boards give rooms formal patterns overhead, while Western Red Cedar screens shield glass areas from excessive North and West sunlight.

Let West Coast Lumber versatility help you create a mood for commercial or residential buildings. Your local retail lumber dealer is your source of information and supply.

The character and colorful atmosphere of the South Pacific is designed gracefully into this specialty restaurant, located on the brink of Puget Sound, only a short walk from busy downtown Seattle. The Polynesian long house influence is reflected in a modern adaptation of the "A" frame type of construction. West Coast Lumber simplified the architect's requirements and at the same time maintained the dignity of the design objective.

The 80' x 90' structure is an example of utilizing heavy West Coast Douglas Fir timbers to meet building code requirements in a No. 1 fire zone. The solid 10" fir timbers taper from 9" at the base to 21" at the top and each is handcarved with an authentic Polynesian design. Interior one-hour fire resistant walls are 5/8" sheet rock applied to 2" x 4" fir framing. The floor joists are 2" x 12" West Coast Douglas Fir and the interior wall partitions are of 2" x 4" of the same dependable species.

Arch beams of Douglas Fir, spaced 20' on centers, form the three roofs of the structure. The peak of each is decorated with a hand carving in Western Red Cedar to duplicate the prow of a native war canoe. Forming the roof and interior ceiling is 4" x 6" West Coast Hemlock tongue and groove roof decking. The restaurant is on piling extending 20' above the water. Its exterior is 1" x 8" Western Red Cedar tongue and groove siding applied at a 57 degree angle to the arch of the frame.

Here is another example of adapting imagination to the practical use of standard sizes of West Coast Lumber. This same dependable lumber is available at your local lumber dealer.

 "We have been building concrete block homes for over 10 years, and have had wonderful success with them in every way. We have built concrete block homes to sell for $7,000 to $23,500 and we are still building concrete block houses for the $8,700 market, for the $12,500 market, and the $20,000 market.

"We have built over 2,000 houses with concrete block."

Starting in 1914, a five-story steel frame and reinforced concrete structure was built, and dedicated May 4, 1916 as the five-story City-County Building. In 1930, six floors were added by architects Henry Bittman and John L. McCauley,[ and later a three-story 'attic'. Modernization efforts in 1967 added air conditioning and heavily modified the appearance of the building. In 1987, the King County Courthouse was registered as a King County landmark, which limits the style of future remodeling of public areas to restoring the original appearance.
