If a government funding measure passes, the GSA will get $9 million for a new storage facility for the National Archives in the Seattle area.
The National Archives Seattle building, which is located on Sand Point Way NE, can be seen from the outside.
If the government funding measure passed Friday by a divided U.S. House of Representatives is also passed by the U.S. Senate,in the Seattle area” according to a press release issued Thursday by the office of Washington Democratic U.S. Sen. Patty Murray. The possibility of federal funding to begin the process of replacing NARA’s aging facility in Seattle’s Sand Point neighborhood was, with its contents – priceless federal documents, maps, photos and other materials stretching back to the 19th century – to be likely shipped to California and Missouri, and the real estate sold off to generate revenue for the federal government.
Should the current budget measure pass and be signed by President Joe Biden, this funding will likely allow the GSA, the arm of the federal government that manages real estate and development for many agencies, to begin planning for a new facility for the National Archives. Specific location and other details about the new facility would be determined through this process, with actual construction likely not beginning for several years.
