Feds reverse decision and end effort to sell Seattle National Archives April 8, 2021 at 2:21 pm The Seattle branch of the National Archives has been closed to the public throughout the pandemic; a bill introduced by Senator Patty Murray would end the federal government’s threat to sell the real estate and move the archives to California and Missouri. (Feliks Banel/KIRO Radio) The federal government on Thursday officially ended its attempt to sell the 10-acre parcel and aging complex that houses the National Archives branch in Seattle’s Sand Point neighborhood. “What’s happened today is the federal government has capitulated in our litigation,” Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson told KIRO Radio. “They are acknowledging that they cannot go forward with the sale of the archives facility here in Seattle.”
