PATH, the global health nonprofit, is moving to a new headquarters space in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood after 15 years in South Lake Union.
PATH announced a lease agreement Thursday with real estate development group Hess Callahan Grey Group to take over the entire 52,000-square-foot space in the West Dock building at 437 N. 34th St. in 2025.
Located on the Burke-Gilman Trail with views of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, and next to offices for Google and Adobe, West Dock was once home to Sound Mind & Body Gym. But the building was purchased and renovated in 2014 and turned into office space for Tableau, as the maker of data visualization software was growing quickly in Fremont at the time.
The new PATH facility will be home to more than 200 Seattle-area employees and serve as a flagship for more than 3,000 global PATH employees. The nonprofit has more than 47 offices across 24 countries.
PATH’s HQ was previously located at 2201 Westlake Ave. The new location will continue to house the organization’s laboratory and product engineering lab, in addition to open-concept collaboration spaces for meetings and events.
“PATH staff envisioned a space that ignites creativity and fosters innovation — and feels distinctly ‘Seattle,’” PATH President and CEO Nikolaj Gilbert said in a news release. “Our global officers are more than workplaces — they’re extensions of local communities and sanctuaries for team members and partners alike. We already feel at home in Fremont and can’t wait to introduce our staff and friends around the world to the neighborhood.”
Tableau, now owned by Salesforce, has given up office space in the area in recent years but still maintains a sizable presence.
