The Weyerhaeuser Office Building is a building located in Everett, Washington listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was built in 1923. Weyerhaeuser, at the time the largest employer in Everett, commissioned architect Carl Gould to design a 6,000-square-foot building that would showcase local wood varieties such as fir, cedar, and hemlock. The building houses a two-story, concrete-and-steel, 160 ton vault that was originally used to store the company payroll. The Gothic-style structure was erected at the company's first Everett plant, known as Mill A.

The building was first moved by barge in 1938. It was located up the Snohomish River to the company's Mill B, located near the Legion Memorial Golf Course. The structure served as an office space until the mill closed in 1979.

In 1983, the building was donated to the Port of Everett. It was relocated at the Port's south marina. The structure served as an office space for the Chamber of Commerce in the 1980's.

In July 2016, the structure was relocated to Boxcar Park, located within the Esplanade District at the water's edge. The building will be renamed the Weyerhaeuser Muse and is planned to be modified into a performance venue and marina clubhouse. The building is estimated to re-open in the year 2020.
