Building Timeline

We get asked the question about why it has taken so long, which has a complicated and long answer, but this timeline helps illustrate the history of what has taken place over the last 15 years.

The development on the property has been extensive and full of wins and successes!
See Jesus was our last campaign that set out to build a new facility in this same location and was kicked off in 2017 with the focus to See Jesus with 2020 vision. That is, our goal was to be moved in and completed by 2020. Some long delays in the conditional use permitting process and then COVID pushed not only our timeline out, but blew our budget out of the water.  It took 3 years from the submission of our building permit to receiving approvals in mid 2023. As we are all well aware, costs of everything (especially building) had gone through the roof and our original budget was no longer able to be realized and we had to go back to the drawing board.

The blue section below outlines the process and where we stand on our current building. We are working through the updated requests from King County for the permits and expect to have them back and signed off in time for breaking ground mid 2025.
