Sound Transit’s Crosslake Connection: Rail, Retrofit, and Innovation
Sound Transit’s Crosslake Connection represents one of the most technically ambitious rail transit projects ever delivered in North America. Forming the central segment of the Link Light Rail 2 Line, the project converted the I‑90 corridor—including the iconic Homer M. Hadley Floating Bridge—from reversible highway lanes to exclusive light rail service. As Sound Transit’s prime engineering consultant, WSP led the final design of this unprecedented crossing, delivering the world’s first light rail system to operate on a floating bridge. Crossing the floating bridge required the development of a patented “Track Bridge” system at the expansion joints to accommodate the floating bridge’s continuous movements and non‑invasive track attachment solutions to protect the bridge pontoons.
Beyond the floating bridge, the Crosslake Connection project encompassed extensive seismic and gravity retrofits of existing highway structures repurposed for rail, along with the design and delivery of Judkins Park and Mercer Island Stations, each with unique structural and architectural challenges. The project demanded close coordination with Sound Transit and WSDOT to integrate new rail infrastructure into existing highway right-of-way. This presentation will explore the engineering innovations and collaborative problem‑solving that transformed an existing highway corridor into a resilient, high‑capacity rail connection.

With a backdrop of Lake Union at the Swedish Club, SEAW members recently gathered to learn about the First Light Tower, one of the latest additions to the Seattle skyline. Ehsan Dezhdar of Glotman Simpson, the structural engineer on the project, provided an in-depth look at the inspirations for the project, its structural challenges, and the roadmap through design, peer review, and construction. Key takeaways included the emphasis of cantilevers on the project, most notable the skypool, and lessons learned from the structural design of the tower.
The developer Westbank and architect MG2 tasked Glotman Simpson with designing a premium residential tower in the heart of Belltown. The tower’s lateral system consists of a central core of special reinforced concrete shear walls and a gravity system that mainly consists of post-tensioned concrete slabs, reinforced concrete beams, and columns. The 48-story mixed-used tower features retail/office spaces on the lower floors while most floors are residential levels. The rooftop floors are for amenities such as the prominent skypool. The project was designed under the 2015 Seattle Building Code, adopting ASCE 7-10 and ACI 318-14. A performance-based seismic design was conducted following the Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings by the Tall Buildings Initiative (TBI) and other publications.
In his presentation, Ehsan detailed the challenge of designing the core wall system within the constrained project site and how Glotman Simpson used rigorous nonlinear analyses to achieve a satisfactory design. To accentuate the open concept of the residential tower, the tower had significant cantilevers on most floors. Therefore, a major component of the gravity design was mitigating deflections through post-tensioning and high strength concrete. The skypool roof level consists of cantilever steel beams extending out from the tower, supported by V-shaped columns, while the pool itself is framed by reinforced concrete beams and slabs. There were no major challenges highlighted in the design and construction of the skypool level, in fact, the V-shaped columns were architecturally oversized.

| | Ehsan concluded his presentation with a roadmap through construction and shared some lessons learned such as using higher strength concrete and higher grade reinforcing to reduce rebar congestion. I personally found it interesting how the design team managed over 180 peer review comments covering not only the lateral system but also the gravity design of the project. Thank you to Ehsan for giving us the opportunity to learn more about the First Light Tower that some of us will see every day. I even snapped a picture of the construction project on my way to the presentation! | | | | |

The Seattle Chapter of SEAW has had an exciting start to 2026. In January, SEAW held the Student Showcase at the University of Washington, which highlighted student projects from UW as well as Seattle U. This is a great event to get students familiar with SEAW and there was fantastic support from the engineering community.
In February, the ACI Washington chapter hosted the joint dinner meeting with SEAW. Cary Kopczynski presented on the ACI Pro program to improve construction productivity and collaboration.
In March, SEAW had a project highlight presentation on the First Light Tower in Belltown.
Coming up, in April, SEAW will be hosting a joint dinner meeting with ASCE Seattle Section, featuring the just-opened Sound Transit Crosslake Connection. And, in June, SEAW will be hosting the first SEAW Seattle Awards program to celebrate the significant engineering achievements of our members.
The Young Members Group (YMG) has also been very active. In coordination with the YMG, the Earthquake Engineering Committee held a URM Building Survey training with the Washington State Emergency Management Division.
In February the YMG held a Tiny Homes building event to construct transitional homes for the homeless community.
In April, the YMG will be co-hosting a tour of the Seattle Convention Center; and in the coming months the YMG happy hour series will be kicking off. So, look for more information soon.
The launch of the new website has also been an exciting refresh for SEAW’s online presence. SEAW is looking forward to the additional functionality that it brings to our committees and programs to schedule events and communicate with our members.
We are looking forward to the great events that SEAW has planned and excited for the rest of the year!

Hello from the Southwest Chapter! This year we have already had a couple of great chapter events, and we are looking forward to our next event later this month.
On April 27th, from 6:00pm - 8:00pm, we will join CSI Mt. Rainier and AIA SWW for an Emerging Professionals Open Topic Discussion at 7 Seas Brewery and Taproom in Tacoma! Join us! This is an open call for presenters from SEAW SW! We are looking for young/emerging professionals interested in giving a 5-8 minute informal presentation about a recent project, an idea or design approach you are exploring, your day-to-day role in the built environment, and/or lessons you have learned early in your career. This event is a great opportunity to share something interesting you are working on, or perhaps something you simply wish you'd known sooner about the engineering profession, in a casual setting. If you would like to present, send us an email at seaw.southwest@gmail.com with your name, firm, and a description. Attendees can register for the event using the AIA SWW link here.
Additionally, on May 28th, we will once again be hosting our annual Tacoma Rainiers Social. Last year the luxury suite was a hit, so we have reserved it again this year and the event link can be found here. That means space will be limited, so sign up early. The event cost is $35 for SEAW Members, and sponsorship options are available and sponsors will have the opportunity to support raffle prizes throughout the evening. The suite will open at 6:05pm and the game starts at 7:05pm. A full dinner and drinks will be provided. This event is open to non-members as well, so invite your coworkers, families, and friends to what has quickly become a fun tradition for the Southwest Chapter as we wrap up the year.
To recap our earlier events for the year, we first enjoyed a presentation and tour at the Maritime Center, a joint event with CSI Mount Rainier Chapter, at the start of the year. If you missed it, you can check out the February Equilibrium for the event write up about the Port of Tacoma’s new Business Center and Tacoma Public Schools’ Maritime | 253 Skills Center.
Then, on February 24th we held our 19th Annual Southwest Chapter Trade Show. The Trade Show was held at the EQC Ballroom and Conference Center, in Fife. The event had 17 vendors and over 50 attendees. In addition to getting the latest product manuals and hearing about advancements in the industry, attendees had the opportunity to see presentations about the following topics: "CLT Shear Wall and Diaphragm Design per SDPWS," presented by Michael Muller of Woodworks, "Advancements in Admixtures and SCM/Low Carbon Mixes," presented by Rory Bosma of e5 Nano Silica, and "The AISC 16th Ed. Steel Constr. Manual - The Gold Standard in Steel Design," presented by Carlo Lini of AISC. Light hors d'oeuvres and drinks were also provided for attendees.
One thing I have been hearing during and after the Trade Show is that more SEAW members should attend -- and I couldn't agree more! I heard this from vendors, and I heard it from many of our members who attended -- from both Southwest and Seattle Chapter. What other free event packs this much opportunity in for learning, meeting our industry partners, connecting with our peers -- and did I mention there were also raffle prizes?
Thank you to our vendors and sponsors for making this great event possible, thank you to our presenters for some great educational content, and thank you to everyone who registered, attended, and all those who encouraged coworkers to attend -- you made the 2026 Southwest Chapter Trade Show a success. This event is something we plan to continue in the future, and we look forward to seeing you there!

| | SEFW Celebrates Student Innovation and Impact | | |
The Structural Engineers Foundation of Washington (SEFW) is proud to build on the strong start to 2026 with continued engagement in student programs that are already making a lasting impact across the region.
Following a successful series of winter competitions, the excitement has carried forward as students, educators, and volunteers reflect on a season defined by creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning.
The Mead School District Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition once again demonstrated the power of early STEM engagement. With over 120 students participating, the event showcased not only impressive engineering concepts but also the enthusiasm and curiosity that drive future careers in structural engineering. The ingenuity displayed — particularly in maximizing efficiency with simple materials — continues to inspire both judges and mentors alike. The 2026 event photos capture these moments vividly, highlighting the pride and accomplishment felt by participants at every level.
Meanwhile, anticipation is building for the UW EERI Seismic Design Competition this July in Portland. With teams preparing complex balsa wood structures for rigorous shake table testing, students are diving deep into the challenges of seismic design. SEFW’s support helps ensure these participants gain invaluable real-world experience that extends far beyond the classroom.
Closer to home, the ASCE Younger Member Forum Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition at the Museum of Flight brought together high school students from across the region for another dynamic day of design and testing. Events like this continue to play a critical role in making engineering accessible, engaging, and fun — while reinforcing fundamental principles of structural behavior.
In addition, the Seattle University ASCE Student Chapter is now gearing up for the upcoming Student Steel Bridge Competition at the Pacific Northwest Student Symposium. As they finalize their design and prepare for fabrication and timed assembly, SEFW’s support is helping provide the resources needed to compete at a high level. These experiences not only strengthen technical skills but also build leadership, teamwork, and project management capabilities.

New in 2026: Supporting the University of Washington Timber Strong Design Build Team
SEFW is also excited to announce a $750 sponsorship in support of the University of Washington Timber Strong Design Build team. As a relatively new program entering only its second year of competition, the team is continuing to grow its sponsor network while taking on increasingly complex challenges.
This year’s competition will be held at the University of Alaska Anchorage, presenting unique logistical hurdles — most notably the need to transport a full-scale timber structure by barge. These added transportation and material costs make external support especially critical.
SEFW’s contribution will directly assist with these expenses, helping ensure the team can successfully participate and gain valuable hands-on experience in timber design, construction, and project execution. Supporting emerging programs like this reflects SEFW’s ongoing commitment to innovation and the future of structural engineering.
Across all of these programs, one theme stands out: opportunity. By investing in student competitions, SEFW is helping bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application — empowering the next generation of engineers to think critically, innovate boldly, and collaborate effectively.
| | |
As we look ahead to the remainder of 2026, SEFW remains committed to expanding its reach and impact. With each competition, the foundation continues to inspire future engineers and strengthen the structural engineering community as a whole.
Stay tuned for more updates, highlights, and opportunities to get involved as the year progresses.

| New Law for SEAW Events, Sales Tax | | |
The SEAW Board of Directors aims to keep all SEAW members informed about recent changes to our event admission pricing. These updates are in response to a new Washington State law (ESSB 5814), which went into effect on October 1st, 2025. The new law modifies how sales tax is applied to all Washington nonprofit corporations, such as SEAW, that charge admission for educational events.
Update (Effective July 1st, 2026):
An amendment to this law will go into effect on July 1st, 2026, providing that the sales tax requirement for nonprofit organizations will sunset on that date. After the sunset takes effect, nonprofit corporations, including SEAW, will no longer be required to collect or pay sales tax on admission fees for educational events.
Under this current law through June 30th, 2026, many educational events, such as courses, classes, seminars, or workshops, are considered live presentations and are subject to sales tax. The sales tax applies whether the event takes place in person or online. Memberships, event recordings, and social events without an educational component fall outside of this definition and are not subject to sales tax.
Summary of implications to SEAW:
Events (October 1st, 2025 through June 30th, 2026)
- Paid in-person classes or dinner meetings with any type of live educational presentation will be taxed at the location of the event’s sales tax rate (e.g., 10.55% for Seattle events as of January 1st, 2026).
- Paid online classes or live webinars will be taxed based on your billing location.
- Free events or donation-based events will not be subject to sales tax.
- Social or networking events without an educational portion will not be subject to sales tax.
Memberships
- Purchasing of memberships will not be subject to sales tax.
What this Means for SEAW Members:
-
Donation-Based Events (through June 30th, 2026): You may notice events listed as free events, but with a recommended donation. We are doing this to be mindful of SEAW’s resources and to minimize the additional expenses incurred to collect, track, and report taxes for each paid event.
-
Paid Events: For paid events, you may see the additional tax applied at the time your ticket is purchased, or the tax may be included in the price of the event/registration.
| | |
SEAW is evaluating each event, given the guidance listed above, to make the determination on whether an event will be a paid or free event. For more information about ESSB 5814, including additional information on what is taxable and what is not under this new law, please visit the interim guidance statement page on the Department of Revenue website.
Thank you,
from your SEAW Board of Directors
