The office space in Two Union Square offers a wow-factor business address in downtown Seattle with spectacular 42nd-floor views of sailboats, float planes, cruise ships and mountains. The office building shares a plaza with the neighboring Washington State Convention Center and boasts a courtyard waterfall. Just the other side of nearby Interstate 5 are a number of healthcare centers. Health is a major employer in the region and Seattle's University of Washington is ranked among the country's top leading institutions in medical research. In addition, bioscience is one of the advanced technology industries represented here. The others include computer software, electronics, medical equipment and environmental engineering. The city is particularly known as a hotbed of 'green' technologies, but its geographical position and good transport links also make it the principal trade, distribution, financial and services center for the north-west US.
