Green Lake - Station 16 - Historic

About the Station

Fire Station 16, located at 6846 Oswego Place NE, currently houses one engine company.  The medic unit is now housed at Fire Station 17 in the University District.

In 2004, the station received landmark designation. Click here to read the landmark nomination report.

The station requires minor seismic retrofits to meet current earthquake safety standards, as well as minor interior renovations to increase operational efficiencies.

Station Improvements

Hoshide Williams Architects are designing the upgrade of the facility.

The project scope includes:

• a seismic upgrade to bring the station up to current safety standards
• minor interior remodel
• updates of selected finishes and systems
• replacement of the two existing apparatus doors with a single apparatus door.

During the upgrade, the station will be relocated to an interim facility to ensure continued fire response to the neighborhood served by Fire Station 16.

Current Status

The project is in the bid phase.
