It’s back and it’s better than ever! Pier 62 down on Seattle’s historic Elliott Bay waterfront is the first part of the new Waterfront Park project to open. The pier has been completely remodeled and is an ideal location for waterfront special events and summertime fun. Located just north of the Seattle Aquarium, the pier has already been the site for several outdoor events this summer including an indigenous people’s Pride event during Seattle’s Pride Week festivities at the end of June.
Coming up in the weeks ahead will be more festivals as well as everyday smaller events such as classes and other cultural, educational and recereational events.
Meanwhile, the Waterfront Park project will continue creating their 20 acre park with much of it occupying the former footprint of the torn down Seattle Alaskan Way Viaduct. Per the press info, the new park will “consist of a garden-filled pedestrian promenade, boardwalk, and bike path that tie together open public spaces such as action-packed piers, viewpoints, a habitat beach, and stunning elevated pedestrian connection into downtown.”
There’s a slew of events up on their Calendar located over HERE.
