Construction crews began pouring concrete for the first of many columns under the iconic Seattle Center arena roof. While 2019 was about digging down, 2020 is about building the arena back up, said Ken Johnson, executive vice president of construction at Oak View Group.
The developer behind the $930 million rebuild of the arena invited media to tour the site on Tuesday, Jan. 21. An October media tour showcased the raising of the original roof from 1962 on supports while crews began excavating the bowl of the new arena. Johnson said crews, led by general contractor Mortenson Construction, are removing 600,000 cubic yards of dirt from
the site to double the arena’s original size. About three-fourths of the excavation has been completed, he said, with the rest expected to finish in February. The new arena bowl will be 53 feet below ground. The 44-million-pound roof, designed by architect Paul Thiry for the Seattle World’s Fair, is being supported by 72 temporary steel columns and two “kickstands,” or ARENA, Page 12

Washington Assistant Attorney General Sarah Reyneveld says her 15 years as a public servant inspired her to run for political office. The Ballard mother-of-two is running for a House seat in Washington’s 36th District currently held by Rep. Gael Tarleton, who is making a bid for secretary of state this year. Reyneveld said her three priorities during her cam-
paign will be creating affordable and healthy communities, making a bigger investment in public education — from early learning to higher ed — and tackling climate change through a clean energy model. The 36th District candidate credits her father’s time on the California Solar Energy Commission as part of her early exposure to environmentalism. She’s served on the board of Washington Conservation Voters and advocated for climate Initiative 1631, which failed statewide
