Supercharger - Bellevue, WA
- Thread starter ⚡️ELECTROMAN⚡️
- Start date
Drove around through the parking levels of the SW garage. No construction activity or markings. The upper decks were mostly empty and the top level was a ghost town. Perfect place to put in the chargers.

Thanks for the drive by.
Upper level of that section would be ideal, and might explain some of the permit change.
Also, I’m not liking my odds much at the moment on the timing...

Q. Are there any electric items in that garage area now?
i.e. will they need substantial work to get serious power there?

Hopefully this is an important enough development to bump this thread. The permit in your link is no longer pending (as it was in January) but is now "Ready to issue". Could this be a sign of forward progress?

At the mall buying some Airpods 2 and see some activity in the far back - IMO the only place a SC makes sense. A few tow away signs and some construction equipment. There is already electrical there.
There is always stuff back there but this is new from two weeks ago (I always enter in this area).

It’s in the far back corner, just outside the parking structure. I circled it in the image below.
Only difference vs other Superchargers is that it would be a walk to any “amenities” like a bathroom or a Starbucks (it’s obviously right across the street from the Bellevue Park though!). But it’s a similar walk to amenities at others I’ve visited, such as the Burbank, CA Supercharger though that one is IN the mall parking lot structure on the 3rd level. This one is technically not inside the structure, but it would make connecting to power far easier.

This is an uncovered parking area that's part of the Bellevue Square parking garage complex. There is no cost to park at Bellevue Square.
Just an FYI, they've had construction equipment back there for at least a month now. I couldn't tell if it was related to charger installation or something else though.
To me this does not look like a Supercharger construction site.
There is an apartment building going up half a block to the south that this may be spillover storage for.

Yeah, GLY is always back there and they do have a massive storage in the structure. It’s not for the apartment as they handle mall construction. But that trailer is not SC related for sure. It just happens to be in the area where I think the SC will go.
The heavy equipment outside is new-ish...though Araman says those have been there for a few weeks more than I thought.

Cancelled but this one is still "ready to issue" and seems to be making progress as of 12/17/2018.
Should we ask the mods to remove the blue dot from Bellevue for now? It's certainly looking like plans have fallen through at this specific location for now.
