Only a few corners in today's downtown Seattle are devoted neither to making money nor celebrating those who have a lot of it. One of these is the YWCA, whose '30s-era building still bears two pairs of terra-cotta reliefs honoring women's strength (symbolized by a warrior woman with a shield) and women's wisdom (symbolized by a seated woman reading, deep in contemplation). While the current YWCA logo emphasizes the "W" in the organization's name, nobody's likely to confuse this handsome brick building with the stark-black W Hotel just down the street.
