Construction Stalls Across King County As Concrete Workers Strike For Fair Wages And Health CareAs the omicron-fueled fifth wave of COVID-19 disrupts schools, grocery stores, airports, and hospitals, construction across King County has come to a standstill as well, albeit for different reasons.

As a result, many of Puget Sound’s largest construction projects — including affordable housing and the Federal Way Link light rail extension project in the South End — are now on hold.

“When the pain of leaving behind what we know outweighs the pain of embracing it, or when the power we face is overwhelming and neither flight nor fight will save us, there may be salvation in sitting still.

By sitting still I do not mean the paralysis of dread, like that of a rabbit frozen beneath the dive of a hawk.
