Update on 2020 Harborview Bond Program Delivery

March 24, 2026

Five years into the 2020 Harborview Bond Program, the new inpatient tower’s move-in date has been pushed back from late 2028 until at least 2032. Delays are primarily a result of permitting and leasing challenges and long construction timelines, among other issues. Additionally, cost estimates for the program are increasing, calling into question whether proceeds from the 2020 bond measure will be sufficient for delivering all priority projects within the 2023 Ordinance Working Group’s (OWG) recommended plan. This means policymakers may need to revisit the program plan to identify ways to reduce scope or cost.

This status report provides details on program progress, updates to schedule and cost estimates, and risks to the Harborview Bond Program Team’s (Bond Team) ability to deliver the approved program plan as of February 2026. The Auditor’s Office plans to continue oversight of this project and will provide periodic updates.
