About the Bond Program

The Harborview Bond Program was established following the overwhelming 2020 voter approval of Proposition 1, authorizing the King County to sell up to $1.74 billion in bonds to fund facility improvements at Harborview Medical Center.

This funding will support a much needed and transformational campus expansion, increasing capacity and access for patient care, and ensuring sustainable, innovative health care facilities for generations to come. 

Led by King County’s Harborview Construction and Infrastructure Division, the Harborview Bond Program is constructing a new inpatient tower, improving HMC campus infrastructure, growing essential hospital services, and renovating County spaces in older parts of the campus. This will include structural updates to ensure safety and operations during a major disaster, like an earthquake, and expanded medical and behavioral health services. The medical center will remain fully operational throughout construction.

List of Projects

The new inpatient tower at Harborview Medical Center is the cornerstone of the Harborview Bond Program, hosting an expanded emergency department, operating rooms, and single inpatient rooms. The tower will add much-needed capacity to meet the increased demand for patient care, make care delivery more efficient, and improve patient experience.
