What an incredible summer it’s been! For the first time, the full 20-acres of Waterfront Park were open, and you showed up, Seattle.
From morning walks along the Park Promenade and sunset views over the Salish Sea to evenings filled with live music from local artists at Spotlight at Waterfront Park, a global soccer tournament that brought fans together at Pier 62 and the Salish Steps, free weekly movement classes and small moments in between, this summer at Waterfront Park was vibrant and joyful thanks to everyone who visited, performed, commuted through the Park or just soaked in the views.
