Seattle Children’s recently submitted a permit application with the City of Seattle under our Major Institution Master Plan (MIMP) to pursue a proposed project to construct a surgery pavilion and parking garage north of the existing Ocean buildings on the main hospital campus. The proposed project would add much needed capacity to our operating rooms and additional parking.

This is the first preliminary step in a multi-step process that requires several approvals before the project can move forward. We are required by our MIMP to notify the Standing Advisory Committee (a citizen group who advises on our MIMP) when we submit a new permit application with the City, and because of COVID-19 we have done so via a recorded presentation. Master Use Permit signs for this project will go up around the Hospital Campus soon.

On Wednesday, July 8, Bartlett Tree Experts will remove some dead and dying trees from around the perimeter of Seattle Children’s hospital campus. The work will occur along the south side of NE 47th Street, the west side of 45th Avenue NE, and the north side of NE 45th Street. Crews will use chainsaws and chippers, which will generate noise.

At the end of March, the City of Seattle implemented a temporary suspension of Seattle Children’s employee parking restrictions near the hospital campus and reserved several streets east of the hospital campus to support Children’s essential health care workers responding to the COVID-19 public health crisis. This week, the Seattle Department of Transportation will be returning these previously reserved streets to public use and will remove the “Reserved for hospital employees only” signs.
