Wells Fargo Plaza, the tallest building in Tacoma, Washington, was completed in 1970. It was built with help from investors such as George Weyerhaeuser and Ben Cheney. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
The $14 million building was announced in 1968 and uses land that was cleared under Tacoma's urban renewal program. It was originally built for the National Bank of Washington, which was acquired in 1970 by Pacific National Bank (later First Interstate Bank of Washington), in turn acquired in 1996 by Wells Fargo.
The building, now owned by Unico Properties, was awarded LEED Silver certification in 2011.
