This engineering feat of world class design...
… is the first-ever, direct pedestrian connection between Pike Place Market and the waterfront. But Overlook Walk is more than just a bridge connection, it’s also a connection for the public to be reacquainted with the epic views of where the mountains meet the sea. It’ll be a connection of families bringing their children to play on the Bluff Walk playgrounds, of friends enjoying the public pavilion and seating together on the Salish Steps, and of Seattle’s communities coming together to overlook our beautiful and innovative city. This opening also gets us one step closer to the grand opening of Waterfront Park slated for spring of 2025. So, enjoy the holiday season on the Walk as we look forward to playing, relaxing, and creating along the whole Waterfront Park next year!
