Seattle Waterfront Park: Reconnecting the City to the BayLandscape Architect: Site Workshop Waterfront Park reconnects Seattle with its Waterfront for the first time since 1949. Following the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and seawall reconstruction in 2019, the 1.5-mile urban framework plan establishes character zones, nodes, and linkages that honor adjacent neighborhood identities while capitalizing on unique waterfront conditions. A generous pedestrian promenade forms the project's core. Reclaiming the waterfront and reconnecting the city with Elliott Bay, the project includes a new infrastructure corridor, green street, and significant public spaces and amenities, including integrated stormwater management, native-based gardens, kiosks and wayfinding, historic railings, redesigned piers, and new pedestrian connections. |
