The Bon Marché Department Store (also known as the Bon Marché Building and the Macy's Building) is a building in Seattle listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
History
The building was designed by John Graham, Sr. Construction began in February 1928 and the store opened in August 1929.[3] The building served as The Bon Marché's flagship store and was later operated by Macy's. Macy's sold the upper 6 levels of the flagship store in 2015 to Starwood Capital. That portion of the building was remodeled into a 475,000-square-foot (44,100 m2) office complex for Amazon. Macy's remained on the lower two floors and in the basement.[4] On February 23, 2020, the Macy's closed the store and the building was sold to Starwood.[5]
In November 2022, Uniqlo opened a store on the ground floor.[6]
