As part of the rebuild of the North Seattle Transfer Station, Stone Way N and N 34^th St will be closed to traffic off and on over the next two weeks. The construction team will begin installing drainage systems that will require 24-hour closures over multiple days.

Starting the week of October 13^th, Stone Way will be closed between N 34^th and N 35^th St, for 24-hours a day up to 5 days.
In the week of October 20^th, the city sidewalk in front of the new Brooks Sports building, at 3400 Stone Way, will be closed during daytime hours.
In the week of October 27^th, the north side of N 34^th St will be partially closed during daytime hours.
Finally, in the week of November 3^rd, the sidewalk in front of the Brooks building is scheduled to be restored.

Work areas will be fenced off for public safety, and pedestrian ramps and re-routing signs in place.

This massive inconvenience is done as part of the construction of a new North Transfer Station, a facility that promises to process solid waste more effectively and efficiently to help all of us reach the City’s zero-waste goal. The new facility was designed with community input, will incorporate features to reduce traffic congestion, noise and odor, and is expected to open in 2016.
