Construction workers are in the process of completing the new fire station at 7700 35th Ave. S.W. still doing some external work but concentrating on the interior. The station will be complete this fall.
The new fire station at 7700 35th Avenue S.W. is moving closer to completion with the numeric designation going up within the last day. According to Christina Faine, Fire Levy Communications Officer, "Construction will be completed this fall, followed by firefighter move-in to the new station. Currently construction work is focused on the interior of the building."
In the meantime the former station at 7302 35th Avenue S.W. is still serving but is being prepped for sale. The Seattle Fire Department is seeking your comments on the older station which was designated an historic landmark in 2005.
The Seattle Fire Department invites your comments, suggestions and recommendations by August 13, 2010.
