Wells Fargo Center (Seattle) Wells Fargo Center is a skyscraper in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. Formerly named First Interstate Center when completed in 1983, the 47-storey, 175 m tower is now the ninth-tallest building in the city, and has 24 elevators and 87,400 m² of rentable space. The design work was done by The McKinley Architects, and it was owned by Chicago-based Equity Office Properties Trust. In 2013 the building was purchased by Canada's Ivanhoé Cambridge from Beacon Capital Partners of Boston. The building was renamed after First Interstate Bancorp was taken over by Wells Fargo in 1996.
