The Seattle Justice Center is a 13-story government
The Municipal Court occupies the lower three floors and floors eight through twelve, while the police department has offices in the rest of the building.[4] It replaced the Public Safety Building, which was demolished in 2005. The facility was built to the city's green design standards, including a green roof,[5] but as of 2010, "struggled to take hold, plagued to different degrees by weeds, a lack of summer irrigation, and the need for repeated replanting".[6] Other environmentally friendly features include a façade providing ventilation to the building, and a water retention system.[3]
The Justice Center is connected to the adjacent City Hall by an underground waterway, which forms an artificial waterfall in the western plaza.[7]
