Sorry for the resolution (it’s an iPhone photo, blown up, taken when driving southbound on I-5 about REI) but this shows you the NW face of 5th & Columbia Building. They have been adding that corner cladding in the last week.  We only see the east and south face of that twisty 43-story building, as in this picture taken from the dining terrace:

    Bill, striking photo, but is it not northbound I-5?

      Bill, again–I now see my error in perception. I was fooled by the light which I took to be in the morning.

    I’m afraid that I caused your confusion; I changed the photo of the east face without redoing the text. Fixed it an hour later.
