U.S. Bank Center, Office tower in Downtown Seattle, United States
U.S. Bank Center is a 44-floor office tower in downtown Seattle, with a three-level atrium lobby at its base. The tower is among the tallest buildings in the city and is used almost entirely for commercial office space.
The tower opened on May 30, 1989, as Pacific First Centre, built by Sellen Construction for Prescott, Inc. after an earlier 46-story Stimson Center plan collapsed in 1985. Pacific First Bank was acquired by Washington Mutual in 1993, and U.S. Bank finalized an eight-story lease and naming rights that year, moving in that December and renaming it U.S. Bank Centre. The spelling changed to U.S. Bank Center in 2023 after EQ Office's renovation.
Cedar Hall on the ground floor is a public retail space that connects the tower to the street life around it. People passing through on their way to work or shopping give this area a steady, everyday rhythm.
The building has bicycle storage, electric vehicle charging, and direct access to nearby public transit. The ground-floor public area is open without any prior arrangement, making it easy to stop in.
The lobby's art is funded by a 1% set-aside of construction costs, and the collection includes Flower Form 2 by Dale Chihuly. The works sit in the public shopping area on the lower levels, where office workers and shoppers pass them daily.
