I’m sure the shaliach has some contact with them, or at least knows about it, as the first thing they do in a new city is make contact with people in the community. There is probably a good reason why they are building a new one from scratch. In Anchorage, a new one was built as well, but that was after the one on Elmendorf AFB ( later part of a joint base) had fallen into disrepair, which may be the case here as well. Elmendorf was also not walkable from the community on leil Shabbos (but certainly closer than flying to Seattle).
