Slurry Seal

Changes to Paving Schedule 

Due to the weather we have cancelled work that was expected to happen on August 15. All streets scheduled for work on August 15 are now rescheduled for Wednesday, August 20. The streets resecheduled are included in the table below:

Wednesday, August 20, 2025

In addition, the following streets that weren’t able to be paved on their original scheduled dates are now rescheduled for Thursday, August 21. You can review the streets affected by this change in the table below:

While we hope there will be no further changes to the schedule, occasional unforeseen circumstances can arise. Thank you for signing up for email updates to stay informed — we encourage you to share the sign-up link with your neighbors so they can stay updated as well. 

Project Overview

Our paving project will focus on streets in northeast and southeast Seattle. Below are maps showing where the work will happen. Only streets in orange will be treated.

What to Expect:

• Full street closures where all parking will be restricted, and access to businesses might be temporarily affected. We will put No Parking signs on the street before we begin work, and they will remain until the slurry seal dries. 
• Up to three days prior to any work, you will see “No Park” signs go up along the impacted streets. On-street parking will not be permitted on the selected block on the day of the slurry seal treatment.
• The street will be closed for up to eight hours after the treatment is applied in order to properly dry. During this time, you won’t be able to drive, park, or walk on the new street surface. 

On the day we begin work in your neighborhood:

• You won’t be able to drive, park, or walk on the new street surface for up to eight hours. If your car is parked on the street when we start work, your car will be towed.
• You'll notice our teams getting ready to work and talking with each other before 7 AM.
• You'll also notice large trucks and machines coming, going, and being used. There’ll also be noise, dust, and probably vibrations.
• Crews will sweep the street before applying the slurry seal material. 
• You should plan to use an alternate way around your neighborhood.

Here’s what you will need to know about the work:

• If you live on a street with no sidewalks, the slurry seal only goes to the edge of the street.
• Pedestrians and pets should keep off the slurry seal material until the street is reopened for traffic. The uncured material is difficult to remove from clothing, shoes or paws.
• If you are conducting private construction that may impact the road, please complete that ahead of our project.
• If your street is scheduled for work on your garbage or recycling pick up day, we will coordinate an early pick up.
