PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Southport West LLC, is requesting Master Plan Review, Hearing
Examiner Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of Southport West. Southport West
is the completion of the southerly portion of the Southport Development located at the south end of Lake Washington
Blvd N. The proposed expansion of Southport would be located on the 10.09 -acre former Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
Substation and PSE utility parcels (APNs 082305-9191 and -9178). The two (2) parcels are lo cated in the Urban Center-
2 (UC-2) zone and the Urban Design District ‘C’. The site is proposed to be developed as five (5) high -rise buildings
with approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and 50,000 of retail development in multiple phases. The prop osed
first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July
2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031).
Phases 1-3 would start on the southwest side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the northeast side
of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower
with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the southwest corner of the development near the intersection of
Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development project could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet.
The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices
with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided
in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking. In addition, the applicant
is proposing to work closely with PSE for the engineering and capacity needs of the development in order to relocate
the powerlines and utility switchgear adjacent to Johns Creek. Vehicular access to Southport West would be provi ded
by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road.
The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an
office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains
Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soils consist of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium
dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and cla y, and finally dense to very dense silty sand.
Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of e xcavation and 39,200
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two
feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from
pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to
connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is
