 | | Downtown Seattle's Bank of America Tower is the tallest building west of the Mississippi River by number of stories, at 76, though there are taller buildings in Texas and California by height. |
 | | Other notable buildings are the Washington Mutual Tower, Two Union Square, Nordstrom's flagship store, Benaroya Hall, and the new Seattle Central Library. |
 | | It is fairly compact compared to other city centers on the West Coast because of its geographical situation: hemmed in on the north and east by hills, on the west by Elliott Bay, and on the south by reclaimed land that was once tidal flats. |
