The Puget Power Building, Bellevue's first high rise, torn down for a taller one
1956
Bellevue, Washington
Puget Sound Power and Light put up a four storey headquarters here in 1956, the tallest building in Bellevue and on the whole Eastside at the time. Preservationists called it the best International Style work east of the lake. The utility's successor sold it to a developer, and on the same day the sale was recorded it appeared on the state's list of most endangered historic properties. It came down in 2006 to make room for a downtown tower.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
Location: historic site
