After years of planning, the groundbreaking for Crown Hill’s new Fire Station 35 is scheduled for next month

In 2006, the architectural firm of Rice, Fergus, Miller was chosen to design the replacement for the current Station 35 at 8729 15th Ave NW that was built in 1920. The above design is larger than the current building and meets all the current seismic standards. It will feature three bays, as opposed to the current two bays and there will be a second story. During construction, Station 35 will move to the former Crown Hill School property that was purchased by Seattle Parks earlier this year. The groundbreaking event is set for August 21 at 9 a.m.
