This is the tallest hotel in the city of Seattle (and the state of Washington). Unfortunately, these elevators are mostly locked off.

These elevators had "keypad floor selection" car stations, where you type in your floor number similar to a destination dispatch system, but on the inside rather than the outside. This was a very odd system, as it can be confusing to use for those who are not familiar with how the system works (similar to a destination dispatch system), but without the added efficiency of destination dispatch. For this reason (almost certainly), the keypad car stations were replaced with Innovation Security car stations with regular floor buttons shortly after installation.

Fixtures: Innovation Security (numbered floor buttons)
Year installed: Circa 2018
Date of recording: July 2024
