Still the Crane Capital
The results are in. We’re still the crane capital of the US! From the Seattle Times, Seattle is again crane capital of America, but lead is shrinking:
Seattle has again been named the crane capital of America, as the local construction boom shows little sign of slowing in 2017.
Seattle had 62 cranes dotting the skyline at the end of 2016, the most in the country, according to Rider Levett Bucknall, a firm that tracks cranes across the world. That’s up from 58 in the middle of last year.
The company releases tower crane counts twice a year. In the last update, Seattle had an 18-crane lead over second-place Los Angeles.
Note: none of those cranes are building condos :(.
