Still not open, according to Tesla app.

Meters in, trash baskets found a home, no transformer.

Seattle City Light, two guys. is working on it now. Looks like the meter is going in. No transformer though. Guy told me he didn't know anything about when the transformer was coming because that's a different dept.

Let me count my fingers again, and verify

Gotcha. The in-car navigation also shows it temporarily offline.

Is this the Tesla app? On what type of phone? I can't find it. (I have Android.) How do you find this information?

"15 minute wait time... ?"

16 V4 pedestals placed.

Looks open now on the map! I will check in out in person tomorrow...

6 boxes. I didn't try to read the tags.

The pedestals are on site.

Waiting on transformer, meter, and probably some programming too, but this site is getting a pair of trash cans:

I think the plan is to build a small museum around the bollards, signs, striped pavement, cabinets and light construction equipment so that citizens of the 22nd century will be able to view what the transition to electric transportation was really like. ... No changes...

I'd guess that the transformer is the thing this is waiting on, and that's up to Seattle City Light... so, no idea :( could be months, could be a week. I live in Shoreline too.

Paving work! No transformer yet.

In this context, does "complete service conductor termination" mean installing a transformer?

OK, but AFAICT all the feeders are completed. What's the "fixing" about?

Is "Fixing feeders" a software thing?

I remember a Mongolian grill restaurant there. Can't find it now, but there is a "Best Burger Hut" and restrooms.

I noticed the homeless camp nearby.

Meter is here. All the dead plants are stuck in the dirt. What's next?

No changes I can see. Hope it's open by the time the North Cascades Highway opens.

Like Shoreline, this site also has one of those big open metal square trays.

Still waiting on transformer and v4 pedestals.

Workers taking a break. Big metal thing is placed.

Unlikely IMO. It looks built to be permanent part of the installation.

Agree, but we still don't know why this thing is unique, or why it's necessary to "catch oil" from the transformer.

Yes, the screen/grating pieces were piled up in the fenced-off enclosure where the transformer will go. I noticed just one big rectangular grated hole at one point in the side, I'm thinking that the grate might be temporary and this would be an entry for cables, OR your theory is correct, and...

More pics. Waiting on a transformer at least. That big square aluminum assembly looks like it's something to run cables around the transformer, but... any ideas?

Pics from this morning!

Transformer is here.

What tells you that the chargers will go at the top of the parking structure?

Why would it be waiting on someone from Tesla to turn it on? I'm thinking it's the electric utility.

Awesome! Needed, too. Hope Tesla finishes the one on Meridian, just across I5, first.

I wonder if this change has any relation to all the delayed supercharger sites from Blaine to Tacoma.

Yes, the metal plates are gone, but work clearly isn't complete.

Northgate, Ballard, Shoreline, Burlington, and a bunch of others in western WA, all waiting for transformers? At least Blaine is not waiting on a transformer. Maybe that's waiting on utilities.

Nothing going on. Waiting on 12 v4 pedestals, transformer, maybe some digging, paving and striping. This is a great supercharger location but also a busy parking lot.

It doesn't make Tesla look good toleave a site like this unfinished for so long. No change AFAICT.

Striping and bollards are in place.

Somebody arranged, but didn't mount, the trash cans. Many plastic bots with dead-looking plants, sitting on raw dirt. Otherwise no change. It seems a waste to have all this work and capital sitting unusable. Waiting on a connection, permit, or inspection? Did all the electricians of western...

Swung by today on my way north. No changes.

16 v4 pedestals. Transformer, cabinets, and switch box in place. AFAICT the only thing left to do is gardening, drainage work, and trash cans mounted.

All paving and striping is done, unless it's waiting on some green paint to prevent ICEing of the trailer-friendly spot. Waiting on transformer and some grass turf.

"Requesting ticket to be updated with markings by all utilities..." Does this mean, waiting on markings for electric, gas, and water? How long does that typically take?

I swung by to have a look. Nothing has happened here in the last two weeks.

I swung by today. Nothing going on since PLUS EV's visit.

Months ago, I was at this site and workers were trenching for electrical service from an existing transformer behind Bob's. It doesn't seem likely that this existing transformer would also serve the SC, though, and the reason they were trenching from that transformer is simply that this is the...

I spoke with one of the workers on site and he seemed to think they were nearly done. Looks that way but for paving and striping. Pictures from this afternoon:
