This globe, a beloved Seattle landmark, sits atop the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Newspaper building. It's longitude and latitude lines are neon, as well as the "It's in the P-I" slogan that spins around the equater. On top of the globe sits an eagle, outlined in yellow neon.
The 30-foot steel globe consists of two hemispheres joined at the equator. Pacific Car and Foundry and Electrical Products Consolidated (maker of Kenworth trucks) built the globe in 1948 at a cost of nearly $26,000. The slogan, "It's in the P-I," is mounted on a raceway that revolves around the globe. Capital letters are 8 feet tall; small letters are 5 feet tall. The eagle that perches atop the globe is 18.5 feet tall.
