I drove through there today and they have pretty much gotten all the big equipment out of the area and have filled the big holes on 13th. They should have it pretty much finished by early next week.

13th Ave SE Sewer Construction Update
This is the latest from the Alderwood Water District about the on-going construction project in the Thrasher's Corner area.
d
North Creek North Segment Construction Update: (208th Street SE to 196th Street SE Snohomish County)
Frank Coluccio Construction (FCCC) will continue backfilling and restoring the micro-tunneling shafts located along 13th Drive SE.
FCCC construction crews will continue to work a standard 10 hour shift Monday thru Thursday. Friday’s will be reserved for low impact work and will only as necessary.
KLB construction crews are scheduled to work a standard 10 hour shift Monday thru Thursday. Friday and Saturday work is not currently scheduled (or expected) for this crew.
Last week a section of the existing sewer had to be removed and bypassed to get the shoring in, install the new pipe and remove the shoring. In the process of removing the shoring and restoring the existing pipe the side walls began caving. The contractor was slowed significantly due to the soils and safety issues. This unforeseen circumstance required extended hours for the contractor to safely control the excavation and secure the site.
Similar issues have occurred in the past along this portion of the project due to soil conditions, safety issues and other difficulties with the deep excavations and complexities associated with a very complex project.
These occurrences are very unfortunate and the District has appreciated your patience and understanding.
The District apologizes for the inconveniences and disruption to your daily routines.
KLB will be completing the installation of the last portion of open trench along 13th Drive SE. Open trench pipe installation is scheduled to be completed this week. Thank you again for your patience! The pipe installation will be followed by trench pavement repair and cleanup.
KLB has completed the open trench pipe work along 196th Street SE east of SR-527 (Bothell-Everett Highway). This final asphalt pavement overlay is scheduled for this week.
General cleanup by both FCCC and KLB will be ongoing.
North Creek South Segment Construction Update: (228th Street SE to 208th Street SE City of Bothell)
FCCC will continue removing shaft shoring located at the Arden Property.
KLB will continue with general site cleanup and preparation for asphalt paving. Asphalt paving for the New Tower property is tentatively scheduled to happen this week followed by curbs and completion of the landscape restoration .
Asphalt paving for the Arden Property is yet to be scheduled.

Centennial Park
The new Centennial Park in Bothell is a great new addition to the Thrashers Corner area. It is still a work in progress as the 1906 school house (shown in the background in this photo) is still being put in place on its new foundation. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of July 2009 and the building will be lowered onto the new foundation which is being built right now. A cement wheelchair ramp leading up to the front door should also be completed by the end of the month. The building has never had a foundation before as it was just sitting on the dirt when it was picked up and moved to its new home. Several of the support beams had to be replaced as over 100 years of contact with the dirt caused quite a bit of rot.Once the building is set in place the remainder of the refurbishing job has to be put on hold as money for the project has dried up. This building was the first school in Bothell and it will make a great addition to Centennial Park once it is completely restored. Expect updates on this project as they become available.

Introduction
Welcome to the first post of the Thrasher's Corner News Blog! I will strive to keep it interesting and informative so that you will be able to get some useful information out of it along the way. The main point of this forum is to inform people about our wonderful area and point out some real estate news and bulletins to help people who want to move here while I am at it.
This will be a learning experience for me as this is my first attempt at a blog. Back in the dark ages we actually published a newsletter for the Medical Dental Building in downtown Seattle and did the paste-ups of the stories by hand with real glue. The typesetting had to be done with special equipment and we would type up the stories (with a real typewriter) to give to the typesetter to do. It was quite archaic and I think we made about $0.18 an hour for our trouble. Hopefully, this will be a much easier process and will end up being a little more profitable.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a good experience and come back often.
