Queen Anne - Station 8 About the Station Station 8 houses one engine company (E8) and a ladder unit (L6). The station has undergone several remodels over the years, including expansion of its apparatus bays. As a result, it is in generally fair condition. However, it still has some shortcomings: the station building does not meet current standards for seismic safety, and it is too small to accommodate a full complement of apparatus support equipment. Station Improvements SHKS Architects is designing the addition, interior renovations and seismic upgrades for the station. Improvements will include:
Temporary Relocation During construction, the station will be relocated to an interim facility near the current site to ensure continued fire response to the neighborhood served by Fire Station 8. Current Status
