Building Description <br /> The 3326 Paine Avenue building in Everett Washington is located near both 1 5 and Everett Station in <br /> downtown EveretL Reports are that the building was constructed in the 1960s,bu[neith�r the <br /> building owner nor the Ciry of Everett has the original construction documents on record to review. The <br /> building is rectangular in shape,with a length of approzimately 160 feet and a widlh of approximately <br /> 100 feet A small rectangular addition was added oulside lhe southeast comer of the building after its <br /> original conslruclion. The building is connected to the adjacent 3409 McLougai Avenue building by an <br /> unused roll�up doorway that is typically closed. <br /> The gravity load carrying system of the building consis[s of corrugated metal deck that dislributes the <br /> roof load to sleel Z-purlins. These Z-purlins are supported in turn by a steel 3-pin arch that spans <br /> across lhe width of the building. The 3 pin arch is construcled of steel plates welded logelher to fonn <br /> an I-shape of a varying cross section al different locations o(the arch. The foundations were <br /> wwbserved,but are likely conventional concrete spread footings. <br /> The lateral load carrying system consists of tension-only steel rod bracing in the north-south direclion <br /> at the perimeter of the building. The three pin arches resist lateral loads in the east-west dimction. <br /> Wind girts are steel Z shapes lha[span horizontally between the coiumns of Ihe 3-pin arch in lhe long <br /> direction of the buildirg,and between added vertical=teel I-columns in the short direction of Uie <br /> bwlding. The roof diaphragm is stiffened with tension-coty rod bracing. <br /> Glacier Propertles,LLC <br /> 3326 Paine Aveiwe <br /> J/v <br />
