Welcome to the Daily Journal of Commerce Green Building Blog! I'm Katie Zemtseff, environmental reporter at the DJC. This blog is here to focus on green building issues in Seattle, the Pacific Northwest, and anywhere that might interest you. That means it is focused on green building, but will often meander to other related subjects. If you have any comments or questions, please email me at Katiez@djc.com. Welcome!

  Should really green buildings look mainstream?

  • Yes. The market doesn't want different looking projects.
  • No. Green buildings should look like they're different and exciting.
  • They do for now, but once green building is a larger part of the market, they should start looking different.
