would this have been done on the site or prefab slabs sent by a plant? if this is a production problem at the concrete plant then we may have a larger problem.

I'm a little surprised that water would get to this area once the skin is on, but it is Seattle. The crew that tensions the cables is often different from the crew that cuts the excess cable which is often different from the crew who would 'paint' the ends which is always different from the crew who would fill in the pocket with grout. Obviously, something fell through the cracks, but it need not have been nefarious. There have been ongoing problems in the Seattle/Bellevue area with condo buildings that suffered water intrusion. Been going on for at least 15 years. I recall seeing entire buildings in Bellevue wrapped in plastic during repairs.
