Magnolia - Station 41 - Historic 
About the Station Fire Station 41, located at 2416 34th Avenue West, houses one engine company. To meet current earthquake safety standards and accommodate today's firefighting operations, Fire Station 41 was seismically upgraded, renovated, and expanded. In 2005, the station received landmark designation from the Seattle Landmarks Board. Click here to read the landmark nomination report. Station Improvements The architectural firm Hoshide Williams designed the fire station. The project scope included remodeling the station to accommodate apparatus support (decontamination and bunker gear storage) and bringing the station up to current safety standards. An addition for sleeping quarters was added to the back of the station. Temporary Relocation During the station rebuild, the crews have moved to an interim location to ensure continued fire and emergency response to the neighborhoods served by Fire Station 41. Current Status The project is completed. Milestones
