The elimination of tower spacing in Denny Triangle will be featured in a KIRO news story about Seattle's urban density. The piece is scheduled to air this Monday, March 3, at 6:00pm.
Graham Johnson, a reporter at KIRO 7 Eyewitness News, was here recently filming the very small (18 foot) gap between the Cosmo and 1918 8th. While here, Graham interviewed a couple of Cosmo homeowners.
To help convey the impact of the the city's behind-closed-doors elimination of tower spacing, this sketch shows the space that would have been provided had the regulation not been
eliminated from our neighborhood. The yellow section is (roughly) the spacing required for the city's definition of "downtown livability." That little dark shadow line between the two buildings is what they are building.
