Scope and content
This is how the nearly completed Bank of Washington Plaza appeared on November 9, 1970. In about one month, the staff of the Pacific National Bank of Washington (formerly National Bank of Washington prior to its recent merger) would move into the $12,000,000 structure at 1201-23 Pacific Avenue. The modernistic skyscraper and its surrounding plaza took nearly two years to build. It would be dedicated on January 9, 1971, with Governor Dan Evans in attendance. The tower is still in use and is now known as the Wells Fargo Plaza. Photograph ordered by Donald M. Drake Co., Portland, general contractors of the project.
