Order an Image
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco opened a branch in Seattle in 1917. After some years in leased space, the Seattle Branch moved into its own, purpose-built building on Second Avenue and Madison Street in 1951. Among the branch's many responsibilities were the handling and distribution of coins and currency.

Here, coin sorter Robert Popilek works at his machine at the new Federal Reserve branch bank.
