Local perspective:

A preservation movement sprouted in response to the garage's construction in 1962, particularly due to it replacing the once-grand Seattle Hotel. By 1970, Pioneer Square earned status as the first historic district in Seattle.  

Despite the local hatred in its early days, Architizer named the parking structure the "coolest parking lot" in the United States back in 2019.
