New home at 101 Elliott Avenue symbolizes company’s Pacific Northwest roots
SEATTLE (June 30, 2015) – Cutter & Buck, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is moving its Seattle headquarters this week from the Fremont neighborhood to 101 Elliott Avenue West, the former home of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper. The location is well known for the “It’s in the P-I” globe, the near 70-year-old city icon that sits atop the building.
“Geographically it was important for us to have a location that speaks to our Pacific Northwest roots,” Freet said. “I am not sure we could have found a more symbolic address in Seattle than 101 Elliott. While much of Elliott Avenue is dedicated to commercial and light industrial use, there is a growing community of corporations taking hold in buildings new and old. It is exciting to be at the forefront of the renaissance of this area.”
Cutter & Buck, which has been at its Fremont location for 13 years, will take over the building’s first main floor and part of the second floor.
“We embarked on an immediate build-out to suit our needs,” Freet said. “Our new home features an open, collaborative environment with high ceilings and unique features for each of our working groups.”
In addition to announcing the move, Freet said Cutter & Buck formally commemorated its 25th anniversary with a company-wide celebration on Wednesday (June 24) at the Space Needle. Each employee received an iconic Cutter & Buck 25th anniversary jacket.
