Next year, I'm scheduled to move in to the Seattle Municipal Tower, a 50-60 story building right next to the 80-story Columbia Center, which has previously been identified as a one-time potential Al Quaeda target. Both buildings are at the southern end of the business district and would be totally exposed for a 9/11 type attack. I'm not looking forward to the move.

I was on the 24th floor of a Marriott in Chicago recently and was freaking out just thinking of 911. Good luck.

I've been a guest at a function in the "Tower Club" (think thats the name) on the 79th floor of the Columbia Tower. Your probably in more danger from an off-course commercial airliner headed to Sea-Tac than from al-Qaeda, but I understand your concern.

However, the view is spectacular - if you go to the north side of the building, you can see Victoria on Vancouver Island...with a little imagination. I would have given my right arm to have had an office with that kind of view in my corporate days! My boss, out of the 50th floor of San Francisco's B of A Tower, always wanted me to rent space somewhere below the third floor of some cheap building!
