King County Administration Building
The King County Administration Building is a nine-story office building in Seattle, the seat of King County, Washington, United States.Designed by the Harmon, Pray and Detrich architectural firm, it features a unique hexagonal, honeycomb theme in its walls and windows.[3] The building was rendered mostly vacant in 2020 as the county government adopted remote work for most of its employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.With increasing maintenance costs and significant renovation work needed, the county ultimately announced in April 2022 that it would fully vacate and shutter the building by the end of the year despite having no plans for the building's future.[4] A proposal to demolish the building as part of a civic campus redevelopment program was announced by County Executive Dow Constantine in 2023.
