The Harborview Construction and Infrastructure Division (HCID) officially became the Department of Executive Services’ newest division this month.

“The core work of the Harborview Bond and the county is to care for the citizens and create a place where all can thrive,” said Tony Wright, HCID Director. “The new division allows for focused efforts on the Bond and other construction projects for maintaining a world class medical facility.”

The division started as the Harborview Bond Program in the Facilities Management Division, created following the overwhelming 2020 voter approval of $1.74 billion in bonds to support health, safety and infrastructure improvements at Harborview Medical Center. Harborview, the region’s only Level I trauma center, is owned by King County and operated by UW Medicine. Teresa Beran, HCID Deputy Director, is point of contact for process and procedures that are required through this transition.
