Construction Update: Overlook Walk

From the Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects:

“The Waterfront Seattle team has been hard at work building a world-class park on Seattle’s waterfront. After years of construction progress, a key piece of the transformation that is hard to miss is the Overlook Walk. This grand connection between multiple iconic destinations such as the Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium and the waterfront, will be an expansive elevated park with 360-degree views built for people to walk, roll, jog, or just sit and relax while taking in the views.”
