Today I had the great fortune to come across this beauty while wandering around Seattle. This little guy is located on the top of pier 66, about 40 feet away from the stairs. What makes this light so particularly fascinating? As always, it's all about the hat. The fountain-like wires that come out of this light's top complement the lights angular body to create a fusion of two prominent modern tastes. This light perfectly combines the concrete with the organic, balancing the natural bend of the wires with the light's sharp and permanent angles. And then of course there's the location. Pier 66 is arguably one of the best places in Seattle to view sunsets, and as a result attracts many people to this location. Even the lighting this light gives off is nice. It's not the ugly orange of most city lights, but rather a more modern bright white. Everything about this light spells creative, sophisticated, and modern. It is simply the coolest light in Seattle.
