The Westin Seattle is a twin tower highrise hotel in Seattle Washington. The south tower with 40 floors at 121 m (397 ft) was completed in 1969 as the Washington Plaza Hotel. It was built on the site of the historic Orpheum theater. Western International Hotels operated the Washington Plaza as one property with the adjacent Benjamin Franklin Hotel built in 1929. The Benjamin Franklin was demolished in July 1980 for construction of a second nearly identical tower.
