This Seattle Central Library escalator takes visitors up to the
"spiral stacks", a unique architectural characteristic of
the
building. Instead of floors, the library stacks spiral upward
allowing people to walk between "floors" without the need
for stairs.
And yes, the escalator is fluorescent green and appears to glow.

Well done! I think these narrow escalators are probably my favorite part of the Seattle Library.
