Building Care construction is underway. From now until building opening in Spring 2022, there will be ongoing construction activity at the hospital campus. 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 Feb. 25 to March 3, construction crews are scheduled to perform the following activities:
- Drill piles
- Install water treatment pipes
- Form, pour and strip concrete; install rebar and grating
- Install “lagging” to prevent cave-ins during earthwork
- Backfill some excavated areas
- Install duct banks for pipes and conduits
- Prepare dirt pads for drill rigs
- Excavation
- Install tie backs/anchors for retaining walls
- Patch asphalt
- Internal activities: install pipes, valves, dampers and hangers; core drilling
Construction noise will be generated throughout the week. The noisiest work will be drilling for the piles and installing tie backs/anchors, both of which will take place all week. The asphalt patching is scheduled for Friday, March 1 and will produce minor odors.
Expect heavy truck traffic all week as excavated soil is hauled away from the site. 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.

Due to maneuvering conflicts between construction trucks and buses, parking will no longer be allowed on the east side of 40th Avenue NE between NE 45th Street and the Seattle Children’s ambulance driveway. Buses and trucks are not able to use 40th Avenue NE at the same time when parking is allowed on both sides of the street, which creates an unsafe situation. Three stalls-worth of parking space in that location were already marked as no parking; this change will convert the remaining two stalls to no parking.
To mitigate for this additional parking restriction, two parking spaces on the west side of 40th Avenue NE near the old Wells Fargo building that had previously been marked as no parking are now being returned to public parking. This means there is no net loss of on-street parking.
Safety is our top priority. This change will make travel safer on 40th Avenue NE for everyone. Please call 206-987-8000 or email construction@seattlechildrens.org if you have questions.
