Waterfront Seattle

A segment of the waterfront bike lane will be closed near Pier 62 as early as February 25. To improve access for those biking or scooting on the waterfront, we will be fixing puddles in this area of the bike lane which has come to our attention since this segment was opened. This work requires a 24/7 closure of the bike lane between the Alaskan Way and Elliott Way intersection and Virginia St for approximately 2 weeks. To support the safety of all Waterfront Park users, people biking and scooting are asked to dismount their bikes and scooters when traveling through the park or use Alaskan Way to continue their travels.

Additionally, Alaskan Way between the Elliott Way intersection and Virginia St will be intermittently reduced to one lane for alternating traffic during work hours, Monday – Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM . A flagger will be on site to direct traffic. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times via the Park Promenade. Check out our flyer at the link here for more information.

The Office of the Waterfront, Civic Projects, and Sound Transit in collaboration with the Seattle Art Museum is hosting a free public lecture with artist Ann Hamilton at 6:30 PM on Thursday, February 12. A meet and greet at the artwork site will directly follow at 8 PM. During the talk at the Seattle Art Museum, Hamilton will discuss her publicly sited artwork “Guests,” the evolution of the project, and how public art can animate urban space and foster community engagement. Tickets to the event are free with an RSVP and can be reserved here: https://www.seattleartmuseum.org/whats-on/events/sam-talks-ann-hamilton-feb-12.

At the meet and greet, people will have an exclusive opportunity to view the art from a unique view and speak with Ann Hamilton about the artwork. An RSVP is not required for the meet and greet and light refreshments from Boon Boona Coffee will be available. We hope you’ll come by either (or both) of these events!
