Northview project reports steady construction progress; county expects occupancy next spring

County staff told the Behavioral Health Advisory Board on Sept. 9 that construction on the PBH Northview behavioral‑health housing project is advancing on schedule and within budget.

“We have most of the exterior walls of the third floor framed. We're starting to plumb the second floor now. We anticipate the first week of October we'll start building the fourth floor, and in November we'll have the roof on,” a county staff member said. Staff added that outside inspectors have praised the work and that the project remains within reasonable budget margins.

The project encountered one security incident — an unauthorized person entering the job site — but county staff said it was caught on camera and reported to Port Angeles Police Department; no further incidents were reported. Staff said they continue to target a May move‑in date and noted ongoing attention to Evergreen sustainable‑development standards on the build.

Board members thanked staff and noted the project depends on the collaborative contributions of many community partners and boards.
