Second Use Building Materials has salvaged for reuse, hundreds of auditorium seats from Chief Sealth High School in the Westwood neighborhood of Seattle. The auditorium, which was originally built in 1957, is currently being renovated, and the school district and general contractor for the remodel worked with Second Use to save the approximately 600 seats. This salvage will ensure that the material stays out of the landfill and remains in the community.

The theater seats are now publicly available for purchase at Second Use, in banks of 2,3,4, and more. More information and photos of the seats are available on Second Use’s website: www.seconduse.com/catalog These seats are great for adding a bit of flair or history to home design projects, business settings, or even classrooms. For information about the material or the salvage project, please contact Second Use at 206-763-6929 or Patrick@seconduse.com

Chief Sealth High School is named after Noah Sealth, a prominent Native American in the Puget Sound region at the time Seattle was formed. Construction began on the school in 1954, in response to a growing population in the West Seattle neighborhoods. At the time the school was built, the roof covering the gymnasium and auditorium was the largest roof in the Pacific Northwest.
