We will install a final layer of pavement in parking lot four starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 26. The work will generate some noise as well as some odors. This will complete a repaving project that enables us to move the gate serving parking lot four on the northeast corner of our campus.

We’re moving the gate that serves parking lot four in the northeast portion of our campus, requiring some repaving. The work begins at 8 a.m. on Friday, May 18, when contractors will demolish and remove asphalt and continues at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 19, when they’ll begin to repave and install concrete curbing. They’ll install the final layer of pavement starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 26. The work will generate some noise as well as some odors from the repaving. You may also hear some noise on Wednesday, May 16, when contractors saw through pavement to install underground electrical lines. Thank you for your patience as we complete this work.

Project postponed until further notice.
Work begins Monday, May 14, to restore 40th Avenue Northeast to a concrete surface between Northeast 45th Street and Sand Point Way. The street was torn up and patched with asphalt so that Puget Sound Energy could lay a new gas line to help serve our Building Hope expansion. The work will take about two weeks. During that time, 40th Avenue will be reduced to a single lane operating in one direction at a time with no street parking.
