The building is popularly referred to as the "JFB". |
The Federal Office Building was renamed shortly after U.S. Senator "Scoop" Jackson's death in 1983. |
Seattle's Burke Building sat on the corner of Second and Marion Streets from 1889 to 1971, then razed to make room for the Federal Building. Decorative elements from the Burke Building were built into the plaza, and the Romanesque entry arch still stands on Second Avenue. |
In January 2006 the building underwent a $36 million renovation, including seismic strengthening and upgrades to the mechanical and elevator systems. |
Winner of the AIA Honor Award in 1976. |
