The property is owned by Yale and is being developed into a seven-story residential building by RMS Companies. The building is currently two stories high, with two parking levels underground. Plans call for 112 residential units. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident, and a stop work order will be issued until the site is safe.

Construction Accident Causes Chaos for Seattle Light Rail

A construction mishap above Westlake Station has caused significant damage to the station tunnel roof, leading to the closure of the northbound tracks and platform. Sound Transit has imposed service changes, with only a shuttle train service operating through the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel (DSTT) at 30-minute frequencies between Capitol Hill and Stadium Stations. The service disruption is expected to last at least two weeks, and riders are advised to consider alternative transit services. The incident could lead to an increase in bus trips, but King County Metro has been cancelling hundreds of regular bus trips each weekday due to severe staff shortages.
