Rainier Beach - Station 33

About the Station

Fire Station 33, located at 9645 Renton Avenue S., houses one engine company and a reserve engine.

The station requires minor seismic retrofits to meet current earthquake safety standards.

Other improvements include a small building addition and minor interior updates.

Design is currently underway, with construction to follow in 2008.

Station Improvements

Weaver architects are designing the upgrade of the facility.

The project scope includes:

• a seismic upgrade to bring the station up to current safety standards
• a small addition for apparatus support functions
• updates of selected finishes and systems.

During the station upgrade, the station is expected to be relocated to an interim facility that will ensure continued fire and medic response to the neighborhood served by Fire Station 33.

Current Status

The project is currently in the schematic design phase.

Milestones

August 2007: About 50 neighbors attended the pre-design scope open house to learn about the new station, view sketches, meet the fire fighters, and tour the engine.

December 2006: Weaver architects were selected to design the station improvements.
