Trevina Wang, SDOT Program Manager for the King Street Station, and Tim Williams, Associate Partner with ZGF, will present the program. King Street Station’s completion in 1906 marked an important era of growth for the city that helped establish Seattle as the primary shipping port of the Pacific Northwest. Its architects, Reed & Stem, designed many train stations throughout the United States, including Grand Central Station in New York City. The interior spaces were altered in the 1950s and 60s, resulting in the removal of the decorative plaster wall panels and addition of a suspended acoustic tile ceiling. Restoration is underway to return the station to its original appearance. Event: OED Business Casual
