Supercharger - Shoreline, WA (Under Construction Aug 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

[Astrochimp]

Since the last post (October 18th), nothing at all is happening at this site AFAICT. Maybe the charging pillars are back-ordered, but still, I'm not clear on why other work can't continue. Thoughts?

Here we are, more than three weeks later. some paving and striping to open up some parking spaces. (Obviously, that's not my car.) I wonder how long this site will snooze.

Updated dig ticket for this site so must be some more digging to connect electrical.

Pictures from this morning show ongoing work! No pedestals yet, but two big white boxes installed - cabinets? I thought they'd look different. Looks like the site is waiting on a third box. No idea if this could be for a transformer. You guys, fill me in please?

The two door cabinet is switchgear. The smaller cabinet is one of the 3 SC V3 cabinets. It is on the transformer pad and will be installed on top of one of the 3 sets of conduit stubs you pictured near the switchgear cabinet. They need to pour those 2 concrete pads first though.

Thanks for the detail.

I stopped by briefly this morning. No noticeable work since last week. I hope that, now that Tulalip is open and Redmond too, that a little more attention can be given to this site.

Redmond?

Redmond?

Sorry, I meant Kirkland

Is permit activity the next thing to happen re. the Shoreline SC site?

There looks to be a lot of work to be done based on the latest pictures posted here but it will not be turned on until it passes the final electrical inspection. Without driving by the site to check on it, the electrical permit inspections are the only thing you can do remotely to check progress.

It looks like the three cabinets and the switchgear box are installed, and a lot of temporary trench work seems to be done for high-voltage service to the SC. But, question for Mrbrock: what is that big open square thing next to a cabinet, waiting to be installed? Looks like some kind of vent, but why that shape and why so large?

No clue. never seen anything like it. But looks like it has an access door with wing it’s on one side. Either a drain or just a raceway for wires?

Drove by last night and it’s more or less the same. Whatever was covered by that blue tarp is now gone and the big rectangle is still there. Also looks like they were able to fish out the second conduit for all the pedestals, so fingers crossed for v4

Thanks for the pics. Happy New Year, and now that Tukwila is open and people are back to work, maybe we can get some priority on this SC site.

Pics from this morning, and AFAICT the only new thing is the wall to the west of the switch cabinet.

Slow moving on this project. But it is nice to see that these will likely be V4 dispensers with V3 cabinets. Of the 4 superchargers I visited last night Tacoma #3, Northgate #2, Ballard #2, and Shoreline - Shoreline was certainly my favorite.

Favorite? Why? (asking for info)

It's my favorite because this site will be by far the closest to where I live.

Proximity to amenities such as bathrooms, great “Urban” supercharger for those who don’t have home charging but also shop at Trader Joe’s. Well lit, clean, nestled in the back of the parking lot. Really easy to get in an out of, with little to no chance of getting lost. If you shop at Trader Joe’s and want to charge the car this spot will be great. With its proximity to I-5 being a bit out of the way, this supercharger should be relatively available (though I could be very wrong on this).
