The Facebook office in downtown Seattle is expanding on its one-year anniversary.

It was Facebook’s first development outside of the Palo Alto, Calif. headquarters and now holds about 50 engineers. The office celebrated with cupcakes and a cake with company logos and a party on Lake Washington.

The second floor will add about 30 more engineers, lured from Microsoft, Google, Amazon.com and startups, according to the Seattle Times.

Managers are already thinking about moving to a larger office, which they would need in 2012 if hiring stays at the current pace.
