Thank you to everyone who asked for more information about our piledriving schedule. We appreciate your patience while we worked on a way to provide more advance notice.
You can now find the latest Portage Bay piledriving schedule on our Construction Corner website. We’ll update this page weekly with the planned dates and times neighbors can expect piledriving on the east and west ends of the project.
Please note that construction schedules can – and often do – change as work progresses. Bookmark this page and check back regularly for the latest updates.

Our outreach team is available 24 hours a day at 206-319-4520. We’re happy to answer calls and encourage neighbors to reach out with questions or concerns about noise or vibration, particularly if either is unexpected, severe or occurring somewhere they haven’t noticed it before.
