After the recent condo collapse in Surfside, Florida which killed more than 60 people, with dozens more still missing and presumed dead residents of Seattle’s many high rises may be wondering if their own buildings are secure.
But engineers with the City of Seattle say that sky-dwelling Seattleites can take comfort in knowing the likelihood of such a tragedy occurring here is extremely low.
“Locally speaking, many of our high rises and taller structures are designed, structurally, to a higher performance standard given our concern with seismicity,” said Kai Ki Mow, principal engineer with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections.
