Two more articles in Crosscut were published this week about the Federal Reserve Bank, Seattle Branch Building (1015 2nd Avenue) and the lawsuit brought by the Committee for the Preservation of the Seattle Federal Reserve Bank against the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Seattle Branch. Knute Berger attended the hearing and reported extensively on its proceedings in an article titled, “City’s Landmark Preservation Process on Trial.” Today, Berger reports the breaking news in a Crosscut blog post that U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lasnik found the Federal Reserve Bank’s purchase and sale agreement of the bank building “unlawful.” For background on this issue, read Berger’s first article in Crosscut.
