Union Station in Seattle is a Beaux-Arts railway station designed by architect Daniel J. Patterson and completed in 1911 to serve the Union Pacific Railroad and the Milwaukee Road. Originally called Oregon and Washington Station after a Union Pacific subsidiary line, the building has been repurposed as the headquarters of Sound Transit, the regional public transit agency. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it stands as a testament to the city's early twentieth-century rail infrastructure.
