Attractions│Seattle│Amazon Glass Spheres The Spheres - An office in the rainforest

#2024TravelReview

The Spheres is located in the heart of Seattle. It is designed with biophilic design. Every plant in it is carefully selected from the Amazon plant collection, with a total of more than 40,000 plants, and is carefully cared for by experts, so that employees and visiting tourists can feel the positive impact of contact with nature.

After swiping the card to enter the door, you will be greeted by a green wall. Going upstairs is the staff office. The whole office is full of phytoncides. When you are tired at work, it is super comfortable to have a cup of coffee and take a walk. There is also a General Porpoise cafe on the second floor, and drinking water is provided. The indoor temperature and humidity are set at 72 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity is about 60%, which is very comfortable and does not require a thick coat.

If you go further up, you can see a seat design similar to the Bird's Nest. Many people will stop here to take pictures. Looking up from the bottom, it is really beautiful with the transparent glass sphere!

There is also a DIY area (calligraphy), a small exhibition (planting) and a spheres logo check-in area on the top floor. If you have the opportunity to come to Seattle, don’t miss it. In addition, I found on the official website that there is an AWS skills center next to The Spheres. If you are interested in working in the cloud, you can also stop by for a visit.
