ha. That’s awesome. I was there at 12:30 eating my lunch in my Midnight MX. I work at the center, and I often eat lunch either by that construction or in the sears parking lot. Stop by and say hi

I’d be happy to but I live in Hoodsport and was just in town for a few hours running errands. Not sure I’ll be back that way again but please take care.

Progress! Looks like most of the conduit is in the ground and the vault is on site.
Photo texted by a friend this morning. Looks like excavation has occurred for placement of the transformer vault. A little progress, anyway.

It's been pretty stagnant for about a week now. They made new locate lines for the feeders to Sleater Kinney. Anticipate that will be the next trench dig this week before they set the vault.

Correct, the charging posts are in the brown boxes and the big ones with the white covers are the V3 supercharger cabinets. The supercharger cabinets aren't transformers, though. They're rectifiers, i.e. hardware that changes alternating current electrical input to direct current output (if hardware changes things the other way--DC to AC--it's called an inverter). Transformers just change the voltage not the type of electrical current.

They poured concrete today for the stall curbing and main transformer pad. They still need to trench for the feeder lines from Sleater Kinney, which will be pretty awesome to see how many utilities they take out along the way.

That is the perfect part of the parking lot. Nobody ever parks over there but it's still pretty close to everything, and right between the two lights so plenty of options for getting in and out. The only real annoyance will be that it takes a mile or two of travel to get northbound access to I-5 from that location. You have to go over to Pacific and backtrack, or up to Martin Way and head north for a bit.
If you have a longer SC stop, walk over to Gabi's Olympic Cards and Comics a few blocks away. Best comic shop around. There is also a great taco truck across the street and some interesting food options next to the Fred Meyer. This is going to be a much nicer long stop than Tumwater. I hope at least one of the spots is pull through for trailers as well.

No pull through, but they do have an isolated station on the west end of the island that you MAY be able to get creative with. The taco truck across from your taco truck is better.
What a blast from the past! Gabi was an acquaintance of mine back in the day. And I think I used to go to Olympic Comics and Cards during my baseball card collecting days when I was a kid. I guess she bought them out at some point? The memories are foggy, but the current location does not look familiar to me. Maybe Olympic was the one in South Sound Mall back then?
This is Gabi's fourth location. In the mall, then in the strip mall, then across the street from the current location. She now owns the building so is staying there for the long haul.
