and did not need medical attention. Taking a live look at the Elliott Bay waterfront now, the contractor for Seattle's Pier 58 rebuild is taking the city to court, suing, saying that they've been shortchanged for their work. The disputed project is one piece of the $756 million waterfront renovation. Fox Thirteen's Lauren Donovan has more. >> With all the excitement over the new aquarium expansion. Odds are you missed the drama unfolding right next door. Pacific Pile and marine says the city asked them to speed things up on this $32 million project, but they've yet to pay up. >> You know, it's taken a really long time to get this all constructed. >> He's not wrong. The $756 million waterfront renovation kicked off in 2010. >> Still more work to do. But you know, it's been worked on for years, so. But yeah, it's looking good. For many locals, the completion of the aquarium expansion is a signal. >> We're in the homestretch. >> The rest of this is just construction city and has been all summer. >> But as you can see, cones are still out and fences wrap around a growing source of controversy here along Alaskan Way.

But over a year has lapsed since the ask was made and the city has done nothing. PBM says this is a violation of state law. They're demanding the money owed for the portion of changed work, plus interest on the past due amounts 1% for each month as well as attorney fees. The completion of pier 58 is a crucial piece of the waterfront plan. You may remember back in 2020, during a renovation project, it collapsed, sending two workers into Elliott Bay. They were later hospitalized. That incident prompted another lawsuit, but artist renderings project a bright future for the embattled landing tree groves. Event space a climbing tower resembling a jellyfish and waterfront visitors remain hopeful for the future. >> Lots of stuff to do, especially for this little guy. So yeah, we're excited as you guys continue to build it. >> Pacific marine says this work right here is scheduled to wrap up on September ninth. That's less than a week away. Will this new legal battle prolong things? And what's the city have to say about it? I
