Happy owner of a P100D X and a brand new 2021 M3!
Ground was broken, but then filled back in, was not repaved though.

Just drove by, and there's no changes. There's still two cones and gravel where the construction was.
No need for anyone to go out of their way to check on the status of this. I shop at this Fred Meyer 2-3 times a week, and would be happy to post if anything significant happens regarding construction.

Will be receiving my Model S today. I live close to this location and pass by a few times a week. Will post updates if I see any. Since I live so close I probably wont ever use this, but I can see how useful this can be to people going east skiing or crossing the pass. Although, looking at frmViewInspection it looks like its cancelled!

Ack! Maybe it expired and they need to a new one? I'm so bummed if this gets cancelled. This would have been an ideal location for heading to the mountains in the 60kWh.Will be receiving my Model S today. I live close to this location and pass by a few times a week.

OP here, LNI status has not changed since early November. I was explained to that it's only an inspection request that was cancelled. There was another "stop work order" by department of ecology but permit was ultimately approved. Anybody's guess as to why this is not moving fwd. Someone please call up the contractor INNERSPACE to find out what's happening?

That link appears to be an electricial inspection that was cancelled. If you look at the very first post in this thread, it was "cancelled" back then, too. The electrical permit found on mybuildingpermit.com is still listed as Issued if you search for SW17-00028 in Issaquah. The approval and issuance of the permit happened weeks after the "cancelled" inspection.
All sorts of activity around San Fran. and LA. Maybe Tesla thinks CA is more important than WA or OR? Both Bellevue and Issaquah have had no activity in months. No other stations in WA or OR show up on the map for future growth.

Pretty much everyone thinks this about any location which has a higher density of superchargers than their own area.

In this case it really is true. Washington State has been neglected in the supercharging area for a long time.
Now that they sharply increased supercharging prices (apparently to track gas prices in WA), I hope they will make more of an effort.

Every major highway has been completed since September 2015. There are some routes and regions (and I don't mean places like Siberia) which are completely void of superchargers who would love to have the coverage that Washington has. There are people in each of these places thinking that Tesla is specifically singling them out on purpose.
That being said the gap from Lynnwood to Centralia (formerly Arlington to Centralia and prior to that Burlington to Centralia) is quite egregious.
I frequently make trips from Marysville to Olympia and back and prior to Lynnwood, I had to drive well out of my way to Centralia before heading back north. These are basically the edges of the Seattle metro area from a north/south perspective so it's not an uncommon route. Driving a (degraded) S90D, Lynnwood has made it possible to avoid the Centralia detour, but those with smaller batteries may not be so fortunate.
The Centralia to Woodburn gap was also really terrible, but the opening of Vancouver has alleviated that. Before Vancouver people travelling to Portland and back from the north would often have to detour to Woodburn just to make it home. Again this is a really common route for people who live in the Seattle metro area.

This is very fishy. I would like to know why they started a project and they abandoned it.
