I have my biometrics appointment at 12pm in Seattle, but when I check the office opening hours, it closes at 12pm. Should I be concerned?

Show early 

YMMV

Always show up for appointments early. If your appt is noon, they will want you there BEFORE noon to fill out all of the paperwork. They will then take your fingerprints and expect to be done a bit after noon. It is honestly a fast process, as long as you are on time.

The Application Support Centers for biometrics can be joints in strip centers and not anywhere near your USCIS Field Office, which does the interviews.
