KPFF - Seattle

Our Transportation group enjoyed a floating happy hour on Lake Union 🍻🚤

We are at the Iowa State University Engineering Career Fair today. Stop by and say hi!

KPFF is proud to be part of YesVets, a program that recognizes employers who hire veterans. It started in 2016, and since then, more than 2,600 employers have signed up, hiring over 9,700 veterans!

Congratulations to KPFFers Ron Leimkuhler and Andy Taylor for being recognized as ASCE Life Members at ASCE Seattle Section Local Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievements (LOCEA) Awards Night!

Ron has dedicated 43 years to ASCE and proudly served as the Seattle Section’s president in 2000. A respected leader in transportation engineering, Ron is known for his work with local communities throughout the region.

Andy has been an ASCE member for 44 years and is an internationally recognized expert in high-performance seismic design.

We're proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition of their contributions to the engineering profession and the communities they serve.

Thank you to Seattle Section for a great evening and congratulations, Ron and Andy!

Don't miss us at the CEE Fair at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign today either!

Calling all engineering students 📣 Come see us at the Engineering Career Fair at University of Michigan today!

Not every structural engineering challenge reaches the skyline.

For a tunnel project at Swedish Medical Center's First Hill campus, existing underground utilities crossed directly through the planned excavation area, leaving little room for conventional shoring. Locating soldier piles within this congested corridor required precision planning and drilling by Mortenson and Malcolm Drilling.

KPFF supported Mortenson with the excavation shoring design for the construction of critical campus infrastructure.

The 2026 KPFF interns took a field trip on the light rail over the I-90 floating bridge, and out to the NE 8th Eastrail Pedestrian Bridge in Bellevue. Amidst thunder and lightning they heard about the challenges of post-tensioning the floating bridge and building a new pedestrian bridge that connects Eastrail to light rail!

KPFF was excited to see the grand opening of Snohomish Fire District #4 Fire Station 41 this past weekend.   Thanks to Lawhead Architects for the opportunity, and GenCap Construction Corp. for their efforts on construction. We look forward to completing Fire Station 43 and Fire Station 42 with the same team!
