Interesting location! There's already an Electrify America charger in that lot, and a Supercharger at the Trader Joes about 1/3rd of a mile away.
Regardless, always love a grocery store location! IMO, it's the perfect combo of visit frequency and visit duration to make owning an EV completely seamless.

This is a great location (for me!). We shop at this Fred Meyers all the time. Perfect for topping up while we shop.
I thought of you when I saw this. 2 superchargers near 3 grocery stores in your neighborhood?!? What an embarrassment of riches!!

The Trader Joes is unfortunately a v2 so it's pretty slow since it's almost always full and you're sharing power. (It was briefly an urban charging location by error). The largest problem with TJ's is that it's underground and Tesla still doesn't offer Wifi reliably to its garaged charging stations. So your options are to sit and stare into the abyss or go up top (using the almost always broken escalator) and cross the street (without a crosswalk dodging cars) to get to Whole Foods and sit in their dining area with something from the bar.
The permit record has been updated with the following:
The record was placed on HOLD on 07/19/2023.
Total Conditions: 1 (Hold: 1)

The permit is approved. It appears that they uploaded the contractor form (BLACKCL866NK)
and paid the remaining fees on 8/22.

Blackstone is on the case. Should see a dig ticket from them. This will be 12 V3 in the far northwest corner of the FM lot. Electrical permit was issued June 21.

Northwest corner of the Fred Meyer parking lot. About a block and a half from the existing Ballard SCs.
I drove through yesterday and didn't see any signs of construction. There is a huge construction project of some sort that's been going on for ages along the Burke-Gilman Trail. Hopefully the existing construction project doesn't delay the construction of the supercharger.

Dig ticket expires tomorrow so if they haven’t started they will need to file an updated one.

Somewhat surprising are the older style bases with the oval tops vs the flat topped ones with space for bollards that we have been mostly seeing lately.
New pics from today:
This will be my last update for a while as I’ll be out of town. I will pass the torch to @JSergeant

It looks like the stub ups have been installed for the rear pedestals.

The conduit runs have been installed to all pedestals. You can see the covers on the ones in the foreground of your picture and the corrugated conduit running to them in the ditch behind.
What is interesting is the older V3 oval bases in the foreground and the newer flat V3/V4 bases in front of where the cabinets will be. The oval bases point to this being all V3 posts but maybe they will do 4 V4 and 8 V3.
