The
619 Western Building was
constructed in 1910 as a warehouse building. The building has been used
as a
warehouse/production facility, with the exception of the first floor
level
which has been occupied by retail establishments. It is located in the
Pioneer
Square Historic District of Seattle. A key aspect of the building is
the large multi-light
wood windows which are being restored to their original condition.
Until
recently, the building
was occupied by various tenants, mostly relating to artists and art
studios.
Due to the construction of the State Route 99 Tunnel Project, the building
required
extensive structural improvements. The improvements were necessary to
assure
that the tunnel operations do not negatively impact the structural
integrity of
the already fragile building. The seismic improvements are now complete.
Renovations were completed in 2015.
