Construction Blog

Building Care construction is underway. There will be ongoing construction activity at the hospital campus until the building opens in spring 2022. Seattle Children’s will publish a weekly post on this Construction Blog that outlines the work expected to occur the following week. We will also post to this blog whenever a construction activity will be especially impactful to neighbors.

From March 2 to March 8, construction crews are scheduled to perform the following activities:

• Erect structural and support steel
• Install decking
• Pour concrete for walls, curbs, slabs, stairs and duct bank
• Install mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment
• Install fireproofing
• Set and weld walls
• Set stairs
• Install mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment
• Install mechanical room equipment
• Build concrete block walls
• Install glass
• Install rain leaders
• Install storm drain and fuel oil pipes
• Internal activities in River building: install pipes for pneumatic tube system extension

Construction noise will be generated throughout the week. Expect heavy truck traffic, primarily for concrete and steel delivery. Construction activity is weather-dependent and subject to change based on conditions.

All work will take place within standard construction hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.

To complete installation of a new natural gas line for Building Care, construction crews will work within 40th Avenue NE at night from Feb. 23 to Feb. 28 (this work was originally scheduled from Feb. 17 to Feb. 21). Parking will be restricted on 40th Avenue between the Emergency Department entrance and Sand Point Way NE during that time. Two lanes of travel will be maintained at all times, and flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic flow.

This work will occur at night between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. to minimize traffic impacts. Noise impacts are expected to be minimal; construction lights will be used and will be visible to neighbors.

Bartlett Tree Experts will remove some trees at the hospital campus from Feb. 18 to Feb. 22.

From Tuesday, Feb. 18 to Thursday, Feb. 20, crews will remove six hazardous trees at the southeast corner of the hospital campus, near where Metro bus 78 exits Seattle Children’s property. This work will begin at approximately 8 a.m. each day. Noise will be generated by chainsaws and chippers. We do not expect any traffic or bus impacts.

On Saturday, Feb. 22, crews will remove trees on the north side of Penny Drive, near the River smoking shelter along Helen Lane and south of NE 47th Street near 44th Avenue NE (within Seattle Children’s property). Work will begin at approximately 8 a.m. on Feb. 22. Noise will be generated by chainsaws and chippers.

The trees being removed from the southeast corner of the campus are large and provide visual screening, so the area will look different after the trees are removed. The trees are hazardous, and removal is the most reasonable option. Seattle Children’s will assess the area after the tress are removed and will replant the area as soon as we can.

Please contact Meghan Fuller, manager of Grounds Maintenance, at 206-307-6687 if you have questions.
