FUNDINGThe Waterfront Seattle Program is funded through strong partnerships between the City of Seattle and community, civic and private organizations. The program is fully funded.

The Waterfront Seattle Program is a collaborative effort of the City of Seattle, civic organizations and the public.

LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTAs a part of its funding strategy, the City established a Local Improvement District (LID) in 2019. The LID is a tool through which property owners contribute to a portion of the Waterfront Seattle improvement costs based on increases in the value of their property. The LID was finalized in June 2021.

SEATTLE’S NEW WATERFRONT

IS TAKING SHAPE

Twenty acres of new parks and public spaces are being built, including a new park promenade along Elliott Bay and a new surface street on Alaskan Way. Pier 62, which was rebuilt and opened in Fall 2020, and Pier 58 will support community events, families and active recreation. A new elevated park called the ‘Overlook Walk’ will connect Pike Place Market to the waterfront and support an expansion of the Seattle Aquarium. East-west streets in Pioneer Square, the Pike and Pine corridor and Belltown will be enhanced, improving access from our downtown neighborhoods to Elliott Bay.

GUIDED BY THE COMMUNITYThe Waterfront Seattle Program began as a community vision to remove the Alaskan Way Viaduct and reconnect the city to its waterfront. Since 2010, over 10,000 people have participated in visioning sessions, community meetings, walking tours, environmental reviews and more to shape the design we are now building.

HAPPENING NOW Construction of the new waterfront is underway. Removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct in 2019 made way for us to build the new parks, paths and surface streets that will take its place. In fall 2019, we began building the new Alaskan Way and have finalized some of the new roadway, which you are driving on today. Construction of Waterfront Seattle will be complete in late 2024.

CONSTRUCTION We’re committed to keeping the waterfront open and thriving throughout construction.

Here’s what you can expect during construction:

• Access for businesses, residents and all modes of travel

• Low-rate downtown parking

• Work zones and detour routes coordinated with other area construction

• Regular, clear communications to keep you informed

SEATTLE’S WATERFRONT FOR ALLSeattle’s new waterfront will have a range of vibrant public spaces that reconnect the city to Elliott Bay. The improvements, spanning the waterfront from Pioneer Square to Belltown, will feature new parks, enhanced shorelines, viewpoints, public art, and improved access including extensive street, sidewalk, and bike connections. The waterfront will be an actively managed and programmed space, promoting recreation, arts, education, walkability, relaxation, and better connections to surrounding neighborhoods.
