Bohlin Cywinski Jackson design West Seattle's new, modern firehouse

Recently, BCJ have completed work on ‘City of Seattle Fire Station 32’ – a project that perfectly demonstrates how architecture can reflect the needs of the client. Fire Station 32 is located in the heart of the West Seattle Alaska Junction neighbourhood; an 18,000 square-foot facility, it is home to several branches of West Seattle’s serving fire-fighters – Engine Company 32, Ladder Company 11, Medic Unit 32 and Battalion Chief 7.
