Federal Office Building
Federal Office Building, Federal office complex in downtown Seattle, United States
The Federal Office Building spans an entire city block with an 11-story structure featuring Art Deco architecture and terra cotta ornamentation.
Constructed in 1933 under James A. Wetmore's supervision, this federal building marked the first office-specific government structure in Seattle's development.
The building incorporates extensive aluminum elements from local smelters, reflecting the industrial capabilities of the Pacific Northwest during the 1930s.
Visitors must pass through security checkpoints during business hours from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding federal holidays.
The site marks where Seattle's founders first landed in 1851 and where the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 began, transforming the city's development.
