Seattle City Hall stands at 600 Fourth Avenue in downtown Seattle. Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and Bassetti Architects designed it, with landscape by Gustafson Guthrie Nichol, and Hoffman Construction was the main contractor. The city of Seattle is the client. Construction began in 2003 and the building was completed in 2005. The article names no style.
The seven-floor building has 200,000 square feet (19,000 m²) and cost US$73 million. It is described as a green building and earned LEED-NC v2 Gold in 2005. The lobby has a blue glass bridge against the upper windows, and the building holds the City Council Chambers and an adjacent plaza.
It houses the offices of the mayor and city council, while most city departments are in the Seattle Municipal Tower. It won several awards, including an AIA Washington Honor Award in 2006. The article gives no visiting hours.
