I take one of my children (not my blog partner, LOL) to see a doctor in the Riverview Plaza. This is a large, multi-building complex near the Southcenter Mall in Tukwila. When we pulled up for a first visit, I drew in my breath. Boy, that's a big building! Here goes nothing! I parked in one of the two handicapped spots and hopped out.
My daughter and I entered two large, heavy doors there's no auto-open; my kid opened the door but a lone slow-walker with weak arms might be challenged here-, followed a curving hallway, and it took us straight to an elevator. Up. Down the hall. There we were.
Although I am writing from the perspective of a cane/slow-walker, I will note that this one office would not have accommodated a wheelchair (but then, you'd still be trying to get into the building). From my own perspective, I was happy. The chairs were high enough to accommodate my knees, and the doctor gave me his own chair when I went into the inner office with my daughter, rather than leave me with a choice of low seats. For slow-walkers, this building may take you awhile...hey, it's a big building...but they have located the elevator in the center of the building to give everyone an even shot at reaching their location. I think they did a great job!
