The 40-story 600 Wall apartments fenced, removed the parking lot equipment and a giant billboard, and added signage. No activity yet but they said they hope to start shoring mid-month a couple weeks ago.
The 40-story 2014 Fairview apartments got a revised shoring permit I think a couple weeks ago (reducing the below-grade parking) and has a tiny excavator onsite that might be related to utility relocations. They tore down the former building months ago.
The two 33-story apartments at 707 Terry could be days from a shoring permit, though it's unclear. Fencing and equipment are onsite.
(The City of Seattle just adopted a HORRIBLE website for tracking these things. You can't watch the progress of an individual permit anymore...it's just "reviews in process" until it happens.)

Quoting my own post from May. We may now have six significant residential tower starts since that post.
2014 Fairview is fenced and they're prodding at things but it hasn't started.
707 Terry I haven't heard about actual shoring yet, just site prep starting a couple weeks ago. Awaiting a report.
The 30-story 800 Columbia residential job fenced and parked equipment last week. That appears to signal site prep.
The other three are all well underway, with significant shored excavations.
