Construction Update: First Piece of Alaskan Way Bike Path is Open!

We’re one step closer to the ultimate waterfront ride! A short segment of the protected bike path between Yesler Way and Union Street recently opened.

The full 1.2 miles of new bike path is expected to open later this year—making it another mode for commuters and visitors to explore and enjoy the park. When the entire two-way bike path is ready for public use, riders will be able to experience the views from South King Street all the way to the Elliott Bay Trail.
