Construction Update: Plants at the Park

From our partners at the Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects: “THE WATERFRONT’S STILL IN BLOOM! Even as the cozy season of fall sets in, landscaping around the waterfront continues to bloom. Although the weather may be getting cooler, the natural landscaping along the waterfront still greets visitors with colorful blooms that accentuate the beauty of the waterfront and Pacific Northwest. We invite you to grab a sweater (and possibly a latte) and visit anytime to see the progress along the waterfront.”
