The United States Courthouse in Seattle, Washington is a federal courthouse and office building used primarily by the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. When it opened on August 17, 2004 at a cost of $171 million,[3] it replaced the historic William Kenzo Nakamura United States Courthouse, which has since been transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The 23-story, 390-foot (120 m) tall building houses 18 courtrooms and 22 chambers and occupies a full city block along with a landscaped public plaza.[1][2]
It was designed by NBBJ and Magnusson Klemencic Associates with future expansion in mind and features engineering designed to withstand earthquakes and other possible threats.[4] The General Services Administration awarded two design awards to the building in 2005 for design and construction excellence;[5][6] it also received a commendation from the Seattle chapter of the American Institute of Architects for "advancing the quality of civic design".[7][8]
