Docusign Tower, Financial office tower in Downtown Seattle, United States.
Docusign Tower is a 47-story, 574-foot office skyscraper at the edge of downtown Seattle, completed in 1983 and designed by The McKinley Architects. Its six-sided steel frame is clad in tinted continuous double-glazed glass and polished Spring Rose granite panels, producing a dense grid of dark horizontal window bands between lighter spandrel strips. The flat-topped tower steps and chamfers near the roofline, which carries a small mechanical structure, and it stands among other high-rises beside the water.
The site previously held the Olympic National Life building, which was demolished in 1982 through Seattle's first downtown implosion demolition. This major clearance made way for new development in the financial district.
The building features three outdoor plaza levels that serve as gathering spaces for workers in Seattle's financial district. These public areas offer places to pause and move through the busy downtown.
The tower has 24 elevators serving the office floors, with separate entrance levels designed to work with downtown Seattle's natural slope. This layout makes access straightforward from different street elevations.
The western facade features outdoor escalators protected by glass enclosures, offering public passage between different street elevations. These visible exterior escalators make the building distinctly recognizable from the street.
