Safeco Plaza, previously 1001 Fourth Avenue Plaza, and the Seattle-First National Bank Building, is a 50-story, 192 m (630 ft) skyscraper indowntown Seattle, Washington. Locals nicknamed it "The Box the Space Needle Came In". When the tower was completed in 1969, it dwarfed Smith Tower, which had reigned as downtown's tallest building since 1914, and edged out the Space Needle (1962) in Seattle Center by 25 ft (7.6 m). It was the first class-A office building in Seattle.

Safeco Insurance Company of America leased the building May 23, 2006 to be its headquarters, and renamed it Safeco Plaza.
