Like many neighborhoods within a short commute to downtown Seattle and close proximity to I-5, we're in transition from suburban to urban.  Many construction projects are planned and underway.  Here's a list of current and pending projects, including information on upcoming review meetings and public hearings.   If you receive a public meeting or hearing announcement that we've missed, please email us, so we can post the information on our website.

Projects Under Construction 

Brightwater Treatment Plant Project and the Ballinger Portal

 

Construction is taking place at five sites; the treatment plant site, and four portals in Bothell, Shoreline, Kenmore, and at Point Wells. The entire project is scheduled to be completed in 2010.  This includes the pipes and facilities that bring wastewater to and from the plant, and a marine outfall where treated wastewater is discharged to Puget Sound.

To limit disruptions, the system is being built almost entirely below ground in tunnels 40 to 400 feet deep. There are five shafts, called portals, where workers, tunnel boring machines, and materials enter and exit the tunnels during construction.
