The Seattle Times of July 9, 2000, page B2, displayed a full page, detailed image of the design, with graphics and reporting by Phil Loubere. It is attached courtesy of The Seattle Times. See floor by floor image. Note: this file is very large and text quality in the image varies. If you are unable to download it you may wish to check with your nearest branch for back copies of the Seattle Times.
