Not to sidetrack, but Denver CBD is around 33 million SF. There's another 5 million SF or so on the fringe of downtown ("midtown" submarket) that is typically separated out. Either way, Seattle is significantly bigger. The fact that they also retained much more of their downtown retail, and are ahead of Denver on downtown/downtown-adjacent residential, also helps. The dearth of downtown retail really hurts Denver's downtown "bigness" feel as compared to any of the Pac NW cities.
