SEATTLE — Seattle still has more construction cranes than any other U.S. city, as developers keep building high-rises in the fast-changing city. The city of Seattle has 59 cranes sprouting out across the skyline, down slightly from the 65 counted six months ago. But that’s still 15 more than Los Angeles, the next-highest city. Outside of a lull a year and a half ago, Seattle’s crane count has hovered around 60 since 2016, when it took over the national lead in cranes. The new numbers come from Rider Levett Bucknall, which counts cranes in big cities across the world twice a year. As has been the case for years, most of the cranes are helping build apartment high-rises, although some of those housing projects recently have begun switching to condos. Fifteen of the cranes are at residential-only projects, and 25 are at mixed-use developments — typically housing plus some other element, like an office or hotel. Another eight cranes are working on commercial projects like offices, and three are at hotels.
