The Seattle Center Armory was built in 1939 to house the 146th Field Artillery and its half-ton tanks.

If you've been to the Seattle Center recently or caught a show at Climate Pledge Arena you might have noticed that the historic Armory building, which is home to various food and drinks vendors and performance spaces, is looking a little different. Work is currently wrapping up on the second phase of a three phase renovation project to the 84-year-old building's facade, which project architect BuildingWork says will give the Armory a fresh look and highlight the original architecture of the landmarked art deco building.
