Perkins Lane W Retaining Wall Mitigation Project

We are continuing our work on the Perkins Lane retaining wall to address surface slides.

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed the water main pressure and bacteria tests. With these critical assessments finalized, we are now prepared to connect the new water main to homes. This work is scheduled to take place on October 5, impacting approximately 40 homes as indicated in the map below. Seattle Public Utilities will reach out to notify homeowners affected by this water shutoff.

Following the completion of water main connections, we will initiate our drilling and creation of the new retaining wall. This phase of the project is slated to begin as soon as October 8 and will require approximately 5 days to complete. We anticipate that the entire project will be concluded by early November. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work towards enhancing the infrastructure in your community.

To ensure safety and efficiency during construction, a section of the 2800 block of Perkins Lane W will be closed. We will collaborate with neighbors to provide necessary vehicle access, while maintaining pedestrian access throughout the project, with occasional closures when required. 

What to expect during construction: 

• Typical weekday work hours of 7am – 5pm, Monday through Friday. 
• Road closures and detours for people driving, walking, and biking.
• Short-term water shut downs
• Some short-term driveway access disruptions
• Noise, dust, and vibrations during work hours
