On Thursday, April 15, Bartlett Tree Experts will prune and remove hazardous trees between the Ocean parking garage and 45th Avenue NE. This work will occur between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. The crew will use chainsaws and chippers, which will generate noise. We do not anticipate any transportation or parking impacts on 45th Avenue. The tree work is preventative landscaping maintenance and not related to any construction activity at the hospital campus.

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

There will be ongoing construction activity for Building Care 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.

• Special note: On April 9, we will begin the first phase of reconfiguring the Emergency Department (ED) drop-off and drive aisle.

On Thursday, Feb. 25, Bartlett Tree Experts will be onsite at Seattle Children’s Hospital campus to conduct tree and shrub pruning to improve safety. One dead hazardous tree will be removed.

The work will be performed in several locations along the perimeter of the hospital campus including NE 45^th Street, NE 47^th Street and behind the Sand Point Clinic along the Burke Gilman Trail. The trail connection from Sand Point Way and 40^th Avenue NE to the Burke Gilman Trail may be closed temporarily during this work.

This work will produce some noise from chainsaws and chippers. Work will occur from 9 a.m. to approximately 3 p.m.

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

On Tuesday, Feb. 23, Pacific Topsoils will place mulch at Seattle Children’s hospital campus along the west side of 45th Avenue NE, south of the intersection with NE 47th Street. The mulch will be placed using a blower truck, which will be parked on the west side of 45th Avenue; although the truck will block the west travel lane, vehicles will still have room to drive past.

The blower truck will generate noise, and the mulch will generate some odors. If conditions are dry, the mulch placement could also create some dust. This work will occur from 9 a.m. to approximately 4:30 p.m.
