Watching the new WaMu building

The facade is taking shape on the lower portions of the new Washington Mutual Center/Seattle Art Museum expansion building in downtown Seattle, giving passersby a sense for what the 42-story tower will look like when it's finished. The Web site Emporis has a good summary of the project, including an illustration conceptualizing the completed building. Emporis also points to a very cool aerial web cam where you can track the progress on the building pretty much in real time.
