Seattle's posh public potties are open for business.
After a decade of discussion, five self-cleaning, space-age style chambers were finally opened to the public yesterday.
There were no long lines, but those who did give it a whirl emerged from the futuristic facilities looking amazed, and sometimes a little nervous.
The doors open and close like those on an elevator. You step in. They softly seal shut behind you.
"Welcome to Seattle's public toilet," says the kind of voice you might hear as you board a space ride at Disneyland.
