Henry M. Jackson Federal Building, Federal office skyscraper in Downtown Seattle, United States.

The Henry M. Jackson Federal Building reaches 37 floors into the Seattle skyline with a steel frame structure and precast concrete exterior.

Built in 1974, the structure stands on the location where Seattle founder A.A. Denny and early settlers first landed their canoe in 1851.

The building's plaza features two notable art installations: Isamu Noguchi's 'Landscape of Time' and Philip McCracken's 'Freedom' sculpture.

The building houses multiple federal agencies including the Internal Revenue Service, Veterans Affairs, and the Thirteenth U.S. Coast Guard District.

Elements from the former Burke Building, demolished in 1971, were integrated into the design of the current structure's cafeteria.
