A 1906 newspaper headquarters is an odd place to find a carrier suite, but the fourth floor of the Perkins Building at 1101 A Street in Tacoma has held one for over twenty years: Optic Fusion has been at the address since at least July 2002 and runs its network operations centre from the same suite. Two providers are registered in Suite 400, Optic Fusion and Colocation Northwest, the latter better known for its IsoFusion network. Between them they bring AS30170, AS18530, AS21743, AS53283 and code200's AS209709 to the floor, and neither facility record shows an internet exchange. The suite carries its own CLLI code, TACMWAFA, on the 253-274 prefix. The building went up in two phases between 1906 and 1910 for Sam Perkins, was listed on the National Register in 2000, and was converted largely to condominiums in 2004.
Optic Fusion and Colocation Northwest are both registered at the same fourth-floor suite. Optic Fusion also runs its network operations centre there, and a second site in the Westin Building in Seattle.
Which networks are on the floor?
Optic Fusion's AS30170 and Litware's AS53283 on one facility record; IsoFusion's AS18530, Atlas Networks' AS21743, code200's AS209709 and Optic Fusion again on the other. There is no internet exchange in the building.
Which attestation does Optic Fusion cite for the site?
An SSAE-16 SOC 1 Type 1 report. SSAE-16 was superseded by SSAE-18, and no certificate is registered with an issuing body, so it is an audit attestation rather than a third-party award.
What did the Perkins Building house previously?
The headquarters of Sam Perkins's newspaper interests, built between 1906 and 1910 as the tallest reinforced-concrete building in the Northwest and the first on the West Coast with a basement parking garage. It became condominiums, offices and retail in a 2004 conversion.
