If you find yourself in Seattle with a spare $25,000 in your pocket—if you have, say, just sold out back-to-back concerts at the Key Arena, or just taken your software company public—you might give Dale Chihuly a call. If he isn’t in Venice or Australia or the Bahamas or Kansas City, he’ll probably invite you to drop by to see what’s new. You’ll go to the address he gives you on the north side of Lake Union, just under the I-5 highway bridge. When you arrive, you’ll wonder if you’re in the right place: The ragged shoreline strip of weedy lots and nondescript industrial buildings hardly looks like the place where you’d find the first American to be designated—as Chihuly was in 1992—a National Living Treasure. Then you’ll notice that one building is slightly different from the others. It’s the only one whose parking lot is ankle-deep in bits of colored glass.
