The FBI Seattle Field Office is a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency field office established in 1914, closed in 1932, and reestablished on March 11, 1937, by Acting Special Agent in Charge Ray C. Suran. It serves as the primary FBI headquarters for Washington State, with jurisdiction covering King County and nine resident agencies across the state. The office is located at 1110 3rd Avenue, Seattle, WA. FBI Seattle participated in notable UFO investigations, most notably the 1947 Maury Island incident, in which the bureau conducted a prompt investigation and determined the sighting claims were a hoax, though the incident attracted the attention of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.

O Escritório de Campo do FBI Seattle é uma agência federal de aplicação da lei e inteligência estabelecida em 1914, fechada em 1932 e reaberta em 11 de março de 1937 pelo Agente Especial Encarregado Interino Ray C. Suran. Serve como a sede principal do FBI para o estado de Washington, com jurisdição cobrindo o Condado de King e nove agências residentes em todo o estado. O escritório está localizado em 1110 3ª Avenida, Seattle, WA. O FBI Seattle participou de notáveis investigações de OVNIs, particularmente do incidente de Maury Island em 1947, no qual a agência conduziu uma investigação imediata e determinou que as reivindicações de avistamento eram um engano, embora o incidente tenha atraído a atenção do Diretor do FBI J. Edgar Hoover.
