About

Pacific Tower is Seattle’s newest home for Seattle College’s health education programs and a dynamic hub for some of our most vital and innovative nonprofits. Located on Beacon Hill in one of Seattle’s most iconic buildings, Pacific Tower creates an exciting national model for expanded health care training, service innovation, and community impact.

The driving vision for Pacific Tower is a creative, collaborative space that fosters intentional linkages and synergies that span issues of health care, education, job creation, energy efficient buildings and the health of the nonprofit sector. And the results promise to be stunning!

Altogether, the Pacific Tower comprises 205,368 square feet of innovation and possibility, all of which is made possible through a long-term lease between the Pacific Hospital Preservation and Development Authority and the State of Washington, Department of Commerce.

Key to the success of the building is access to meeting, conference and event space to the college and nonprofits in the building, with excess space made available for public use.
