Green in Seattle?

Below is a link to a group of articles in Pacific Northwest Magazine for the Seattle Times entitled "Going Green" about green construction in Seattle. I know a lot of architects in Seattle and every time I visit I am surprised how few of them have embraced sustainable issues in their work, and most of the primary design firms are giving only a cursory nod to the movement. I think these articles show that Seattle still has a long way to go regarding green building.
