Architecture firm that designed the Tacoma Dome to move from its longtime space

2111 Pacific Ave

TACOMA, WA (November 5, 2025) –The architecture firm credited with designing the Tacoma Dome is relocating to an office tower in Tacoma’s central business district.

McGranahanPBK will vacate the 12,000-square-foot Bone Dry Shoe Co. building at 2111 Pacific Ave. early next year for a smaller office at Tacoma Centre.

The 108-year-old Bone Dry Shoe Co. building is now up for lease or sale, with an asking price of $2.8 million. The Lee & Associates team of Harrison Laird and John Bauder represent the building owners, all previously affiliated with McGranahan.

The firm’s founder, Jim McGranahan, designed the Tacoma Dome along with Lyn Messenger, who was his partner at the time. The landmark entertainment venue was completed in 1983. The firm has since turned its focus to designing educational buildings, including K-12 schools and college buildings.
