The Future of Seattle’s Waterfront

Over the past few years, the City of Seattle has been actively re-imagining the future of its Central Waterfront. The imminent replacement of the Elliott Bay Seawall and removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct now present a tremendous opportunity to create a vibrant public realm that will reconnect the city and its people to the waterfront.

Seattle’s new Central Waterfront will provide a ‘front porch’ to the downtown neighborhoods and the City. It will be a place for locals and visitors to enjoy the natural beauty and stunning views of Seattle’s waterfront, and partake in a wide variety of recreational and commercial activities.

Overlook Walk

The Overlook Walk is the centerpiece of the public realm, creating a direct, safe and human-scaled route between Pike Place Market, Victor Steinbrueck Park upland Pier 62/63, and the Aquarium on the waterfront, while providing amazing elevated views of the bay, port and city.

Information from the Waterfront Seattle Program led by the City of Seattle’s Office of the Waterfront. To learn more visit waterfrontseattle.org.

Only a 10 minute walk away, residents at First Light can enjoy the natural beauty, amenities, retail and mobility that Seattle’s new Central Waterfront has to offer. The Central Waterfront program hosts overlook views, public plazas, parks, play areas, bike paths, community gardens, and expansions to Seattle’s Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium and Pier 62. Improvements to nearby streets will increase from Seattle’s Downtown core to the Waterfront.

The heart of Seattle’s new Central Waterfront will be a vibrant engaging public realm, a new ‘front porch’ for the city, overlooking Elliott Bay, the islands and the mountains. The Core Project Area public realm, stretching 18 city blocks or over 2 miles, will be designed as a continuous promenade, and a series of places distributed along the promenade.
