But I must admit, I've never lived in West Seattle, so I don't know what's more colloquially appropriate. The developer is currently referring to the new plans as Charlestown Mixed Use. WSB is right, the new design proposal calls for moving both wings 12 feet east and raising them 6 to 7 feet each. I recommend reading the entire proposal, linked in the post- it's definitely an interesting proposal. And the link WSB provides has some great context, too.

And the wings won't just be retained, they will be raised and slightly moved.
