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 March 25 to March 31, construction crews are scheduled to perform the following activities:
- Excavation
- Install “lagging” to prevent cave-ins during earthwork
- Install tie backs/anchors for retaining walls
- Form and pour concrete wall
- Internal activities on L1 of Forest A (Friends of Costco Building): install hangers, pipes, firestops and seismic restraints for multiple systems; replace ceiling grid and tiles; install infection prevention barriers; install new pipe pathways
Construction noise will be generated throughout the week. The noisiest external work will be installing tie backs/anchors, which will take place all week. The noisiest internal work will be associated with installing new pipe pathways.
Expect heavy truck traffic 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.
Please call 206-987-8000 or email [email protected] with questions.

On Monday, March 11, crews will perform a water flow test at the hospital. For approximately 30 minutes, a large amount of water will be discharged from test ports on the south side of Forest A (the Friends of Costco Building). Most of the water will drain into catch basins on Seattle Children’s property, but some will likely drain into the stormwater system on 40th Avenue NE as well. If you see water draining from the hospital that day, there is no need to be alarmed — this is a planned and controlled test.

Beginning Monday, March 4, the sidewalk on the north side of Stewart Street from Boren Avenue to Terry Avenue will be closed to pedestrian access to construct new sidewalks, planters and driveways; the closure is expected to last through April 15. The parking lane adjacent to the sidewalk will also have intermittent closures to support access to the work. Throughout the construction activities pedestrians will be re-routed to the sidewalk on the south side of Stewart Street. Please follow all street and sidewalk closed signs and pedestrian diversions as they are in place for your safety during these activities.
On Saturday, March 9, crews are scheduled to paint new pavement striping along portions of Penny Drive and Helen Lane at the hospital campus. The work will be performed in three phases throughout the day and will temporarily close some crosswalks on those two streets at various times. The parking stalls on the east side of Helen Lane will be closed all day. Both Penny Drive and Helen Lane will remain open during the striping work; flaggers will assist with traffic control.
Crews will begin preparation work at 8 a.m. Striping will begin at 9 a.m. and is expected to last until 5 p.m. Minor levels of noise will be generated, and the paint will produce some odor.

In advance of an upcoming Facilities Planning, Design and Construction project to remodel the Mountain 5 Pharmacy, a new modular trailer will be installed on the north side of Mountain 6. The trailer will serve as a temporary work location for approximately 20 Pharmacy support staff members until Building Care opens (2022).
In the morning on Saturday, March 2, a flatbed truck will deliver the trailer to the site and a crane will be used to lift the trailer into place. Traffic control will be provided along Penny Drive during this work; please drive with caution through the area. Work should be completed around noon on Saturday.
