The Weyerhaeuser Corporate Headquarters is a modernist building in Federal Way, Washington and the former home of timberland company Weyerhaeuser.[1][2][3][4] The campus was designed by architect Edward Charles Bassett and landscape architect Peter Walker.[3][4]
The campus was sold by Weyerhaeuser in 2016 when the company moved to a new office in Seattle's Pioneer Square.[2] The property was purchased by Industrial Realty Group and renamed to Woodbridge Corporate Park.
