Did you know the WA Capitol is the tallest masonry dome in the U.S.?

And, our magnificent dome is the fourth tallest in the entire world reaching 287 feet.  It is only surpassed by St. Peter’s Cathedral, Rome at 446 feet, St. Paul’s Cathedral, London at 355.5 feet and finally, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, St. Petersburg at 333 feet.  And, for a few comparisons, the Eiffel Tower is 986 feet, the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. is 302 feet and an adult male giraffe is 20 feet.
