We’ve been renovating the PeaceHealth St. Joseph Cardiovascular Clinic in Bellingham one section at a time, keeping the clinic open so patients could continue coming in for their heart care throughout construction.

The latest phase opened last week, bringing new check-in counters, a stacked stone feature wall, updated exam rooms and a refreshed waiting room.

It’s a well-deserved upgrade for the only community hospital in Whatcom County, where so many of our neighbors go for care.

Check out what the Dawson team has been up to at @settingsuncircle!

Inside the old Mindport space downtown Bellingham, our team cut a 37-foot opening through a brick wall from 1895, turning two old buildings into one big space. To pull it off, the crew held the brick up with steel and poured almost 30 yards of concrete into the new frame that now carries the wall.

To create flow from room to room, we're cutting seven doorways through the old brick. As pictured, there are steel plates holding up the brick above each doorway! The juxtaposition of steel and brick brings this historic building into its new era.

Coast Salish stories will play across a 50-foot screen that wraps halfway around a huge immersive theater when it opens in 2027. We can't wait to show you the gallery and healing garden when they're open to the public! by @dawsonconstruction

Thank You, Dawson Construction!
A sincere thank you to Dawson Construction for supporting Bellingham Technical College's upcoming Residential Construction Program with a donation to our Pies & Props Fundraiser!
Your generosity helps us move closer to our goal of equipping students with the tools they need to develop hands-on skills and build successful careers in the construction industry. We still have $9,895 left to raise to provide tool sets for the class, and we are incredibly grateful for members like Dawson Construction who are investing in our crew of the future. Thank you for helping us build the next generation of skilled professionals! by @dawsonconstruction

The new post tensioned concrete deck is going in on the Sayles and Gorge Street viaduct in Ketchikan!

Ketchikan didn't give us many dry days for the pour, so our crew built a tarp cover over the whole bridge and kept going right through the rain, with the pump truck reaching up from the street below.

The viaduct is the raised street just west of downtown that the neighbors along Sayles and Gorge use to get home. The old wooden trestle came out this spring, and a new concrete deck on a steel frame is taking its place, along with a new staircase down to Water Street. This project will provide the neighbors a safe, solid way home for years to come. by @dawsonconstruction

The new passenger boarding bridge is in at the Ketchikan Airport Terminal Expansion!

It showed up on trucks last month wrapped in yellow, and since then it's been lifted into place, hooked up to power and tested.

Inside, the beautiful wood ceilings are up and the rooftop units are in place. This week our crew carried the first furniture up to the new second floor waiting area, the first floor lights started coming on, and the elevator is going in on both floors.

Next up: the final custom fascia panels on the outside, the controls that run the building, wood wall panels and base trim, interior glass, finish hardware, and the final tie-in of the existing terminal to the new one.

The air taxi side is coming together too. Right now the big airlines and the small charter planes share the same lobby, and people arriving and leaving cross paths all over the building. The new terminal gives air taxi passengers their own ticket counter and waiting area, and their baggage handling equipment is going in now.

We are loving seeing this project come together and we can't wait to share the terminal when it's complete. by @dawsonconstruction

Northies Unite! 💪😎

What a great night in Bellingham! Thank you to everyone who came out to connect, catch up, meet some new faces, and spend the evening with our NAWIC Puget Sound community at Aslan Brewing.

A HUGE thank you to @exxelpacific and @dawsonconstruction for sponsoring the evening and supporting our chapter’s efforts to show up for our sisters in the North! Your support helps us bring NAWIC closer to where our members actually live and work.

One of our goals this year is to keep expanding our reach throughout the Puget Sound region, and that means creating more opportunities for connection beyond Seattle. Community is stronger when we meet people where they are. ❤️

Northies, we hear you, we see you, and we’re coming your way! We’re excited to keep this momentum moving with more events, conversations, partnerships, and opportunities to connect in the North End.

Thank you, Bellingham, for showing up! 👷‍♀️🏗️❤️

At Western Washington University, we're wrapping up the last of seven buildings in a multi-year housing renovation.

Join Travis McSorley, one of our superintendents, as he walks through what our crew has done here, from replacing and repainting the old siding to installing new metal bridges, stairs, railings, and lights along the walkways.

A lot of these paths run between the buildings and through the woods, so having solid walkways and better lighting makes a real difference when students are heading home after dark. As Travis put it, "I'm under a light and everybody can see me. I'm good."

It's a great update to a part of campus that's been here since 1970!

Construction has one of the highest suicide rates of any industry.

Construction work can mean long days, hard work, travel between jobsites, and extended time away from friends and family. There can also be pressure to “just tough it out” when things get hard.

Today is the first day of this year’s Construction Suicide Prevention Week. This week gives us a chance to step back and check on our friends, coworkers and family.

It can be as simple as checking in with the person you’ve been working beside all day, calling someone who’s working remote, or asking a friend if they’re doing alright.

If someone doesn’t seem like themselves, ask them about it.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text **988**. The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Today, we remember those we lost on September 11 and honor the first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who showed extraordinary courage in the face of tragedy.

Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

When Volunteers of America Western Washington asks what was in place on their project in March, Dawson Construction can pull it up in a few clicks.

That kind of accessibility is only possible with a consistent record.

Dawson Construction team flew the site on a repeat schedule from the start, so every date on the job has a map behind it.

A record like that keeps getting used. Progress gets checked against the schedule, and the owner sees the same site the field team does.

How do you renovate a 115-year-old cathedral? Very carefully.

Currently we are doing an extensive renovation on the Co-Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary to make sure it remains a place where people can gather for generations to come.

Crews have completed demolition, excavation, and structural shoring and are now forming and pouring new concrete foundations. The project also includes a new building addition, elevator and ADA entrance, upgraded mechanical and electrical systems, and a new roof structure.

Check back for more updates on this incredible project!
