Pacific Tower

Pacific Tower is an office building on Beacon Hill in Seattle, United States, standing 16 stories tall with pale facades and geometric patterns from the 1930s. The structure shows vertical lines, restrained ornament, and symmetrical forms typical of architecture from that era.

Carl Frelinghuysen Gould designed the building in 1932 as a marine hospital for veterans and seamen under the public health service. The facility served this purpose for several decades before later conversion into education and office use.

The health education programs and nonprofit tenants create a place where medical training and social services happen side by side. Students and staff fill the hallways and classrooms while different organizations run their community programs.

The building opens on weekdays from early morning until late afternoon and offers conference rooms with internet access. The facility sits on a hill overlooking the surroundings and can be reached by car or public transit.

A new expansion adds housing units and an early education center run by a local nonprofit organization. This addition changes the use of the site and brings families and children into a formerly medical setting.
