February 13, 2025

Dear Resident:

We are writing to provide an update on the construction project happening at 7810 SE 27th St. (former Tully’s Property). This project involves the demolition of the existing building and constructs a new parking facility at the site of the former Tully’s Coffee shop building. The facility will include 35 new parking stalls, bike racks and lockers, sidewalks, illumination, and landscaping.

Construction of the Town Center Parking Project is tentatively expected to begin the week of February 24, 2025, as the contractor will begin mobilization and setting up construction control methods. The City’s contractor, OMA Construction, Inc., will begin full construction operations soon after. Construction is anticipated to be completed by the end of June 2025. During this time, no parking will be allowed in the existing Tully’s lot or in the Sunset Highway cul-de-sac.

We understand that any construction near your home or business may raise questions and concerns. As we prepare for work to begin, we want to ensure you have the information you need and the opportunity to have your questions addressed.

We have scheduled an informational meeting on February 24th at 3:30 PM on site at 7810 SE 27th St (former Tully’s building). Members of the project team will be present to share project details, discuss potential impacts, and answer any questions you may have. If you are not able to attend this meeting, this information will also be posted to the City’s website, which is linked below, or you can reach out to Customer Service for assistance.

In addition to the meeting, a project page has been created on the City’s website, where you can find regular updates, key milestones, and important details throughout the construction process: https://letstalk.mercergov.org/town-center-parking-project.

We encourage you to visit this page to stay informed.

If you have any immediate questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the City’s Customer Service Team at 206-275-7600 or email at customerservice@mercerisland.gov.

Sincerely,

Ian Powell
Street Engineer
