The Google expansion project is currently in the early State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) public comment period.

The public is invited to provide early SEPA comments by 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 1 for city of Kirkland staff to consider prior to making a SEPA determination.

The project is required to comply with SEPA, the environmental review that is conducted by the city. Traffic and traffic safety is reviewed at this project stage as are other environmental topics such as parking, aesthetics, noise and glare.

Google plans to construct a new 180,000-square-foot, two-story office building on the former PACE Chemical Company site at 451 7th Ave. S. in Kirkland.

Parking is proposed in a two story parking structure (720 stalls) beneath the office building. Google currently occupies several office buildings east of the property along 6th Street South.
