Our vacancy is very high -- much higher than we would like it to be." Still, Allan and building manager David B. Morton (left) are working with a commercial real estate broker and a local bank to draw new tenants and make investments in the historic 85-year-old building in downtown Tacoma (PHOTOS BY TODD MATTHEWS)

This was the scene Monday morning at 11:50 a.m. inside the parking garage at South 10th Street and A Street, across the street from Russell Investments former headquarters building. Earlier this month, Russell's 900 employees began the move from its 12-story building on 909 A St. in downtown Tacoma to its new home in the former WaMu Center, located at 1301 Second Ave., in downtown Seattle. Russell purchased the WaMu Center and renamed it the Russell Investments Center. The move was completed over the weekend.

On Sept. 9, 2009, the company announced it would move to Seattle by the end of this year. (PHOTO BY TODD MATTHEWS)
