A silhouetted window washer with Puget Sound Window Maintenance works his way down the 10th floor on the West side of the downtown public library. He’s part of a 4 member team that cleans the nearly 10,000 windows in the 11 story multi faceted building. The library was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. The library opened to the public in May 2004. The window crew cleans the building’s glass panes twice a year, and it takes the crew about 10 days to cover all the sides and angles.
