NOAA Western Regional Center
NOAA's Western Regional Center (WRC) is located in Seattle on Lake Washington, adjacent to Seattle's Warren G. Magnuson Park.
The complete Western Regional Center consists of nine buildings which contain 473,938 square feet and a vessel staging pier. Three of the buildings provide offices and laboratory facilities for NOAA components and a fourth is a multi- purpose auditorium. There is also an employee services center and a heated warehouse building with various shops. As the center is located on the site of an old Naval Air Station, two former aircraft hangars have been refurbished to provide indoor workspace and covered storage. More information can be found in a short history of the planning and development of the center.
