Occupancy granted January 2023
We learned the overall function of the system was compromised by the original layout of the lines and to get the proper fall and flow in the lines for the system to optimally work for our residents, we had to relocate the bathroom entirely to the other side of the space.
On our list of thanks, we must respectfully show gratitude to Skagit County in selecting this facility project for an allocation of REET funding. This grant has enabled us to move forward with materials procurement with a peace of mind, knowing we are supported by the community and its governance. Thank you Skagit County. An additional grant award by Tulalip Tribes provides the additional funding assistance that will help get us across the finish line.
With that funding, comes labor for the materials to be installed properly and to code. Many volunteer groups have come together to fulfill the work needed on this community effort to make the space ready to occupy once more. We are ever grateful to the LiUNA Local 292 (Laborers International Union of North America) for the advance actions of demolition required for this project to move along. Learn more about their hands of action for our cause below, in the Shed Build story.
The Northwest Carpenter's Union was very helpful in guiding this process, at its inception.
The floorplans required for the City planning departments review in consideration of our permit request were drafted with the final specs on paper for this large project by Stephanie Crane, of Mount Vernon.
Andrew Vander Stoep has connected us to so many of the key players in our volunteer groups to make this progress, on budget; including Full Speed Plumbing, the major plumbing provider for this install and the Local IBEW 191 team who came in as a group to run through a lot of needed electrical work to clean things up, reroute wiring, and led us to pass our L&I inspection. Andrew, you truly have earned our MVV award of the year! Most valuable volunteer~

Also special thanks to Dave Berentson, Berentson Plumbing for the fixtures being installed in the new bathroom along with so many other calls for support and guidance as we planned.
Finally, a Huge shout out and thanks to our very own Over-the Hill construction volunteer crew! Your tireless service and steady focus on the areas needing attention and skill has kept us on schedule this entire process, as we aim for a New Year occupancy. We would not be at this point without your care and consistent contribution of your time and labor.

Occupied in January with an Open House on Valentine's 2023 ~ we are thrilled to share the completion has been a great success for our shelter.
