West Queen Anne - Station 20

About the Station

Station 20 is one of the smallest stations in the system and houses one engine company.

This 55 year-old building is in poor condition, has long reached the end of its useful building life, and does not meet the emergency response operational requirements of the Seattle Fire Department.

To meet current earthquake safety standards and accommodate today's equipment and firefighting operations, a new station is planned on four parcels: 2800, 2806, 2812, and 2816 15th Ave. W.

About the Project

The project scope will include:

  • a new station built to current safety standards
  • two stories
  • two engine bays

Current Status

The project is in the construction documents phase.
