Not the architect or the owner or the empressario, but the contractor. I recall that he built the Space Needle under budget and ahead of schedule, but went bankrupt because of government delays in paying him. However, internet references maintain that the building was built privately and don't mention any bankruptcy...?

Seattle isn't the rainiest city any more than Chicago is the windiest. Both are myths. Beautiful area though. I spent 6 weeks in the Puget Sound area once and it rained all but one day.

I suspected, and the wikimapia (thanks for the link, FirstTimeCaller) that what you are referring to is Paul Allen's Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum. Really enjoyed Seattle. Has one of the better science museums in the United States! Next time I make it up there, I'm going to try to take the underground tour. Not to worry about all the rain -- there are Espresso carts on almost every corner -- you'll be able to stay awake, and you'll find very reasonable prices on all kinds of rain gear! bobbo asked
