About Friends of Waterfront Park
Friends of Waterfront Park is the nonprofit entrusted to bring Seattle’s 20-acre Waterfront Park to life—now and for generations to come. Founded in 2012, Friends manages the Park experience year-round: stewarding public spaces; curating hundreds of free programs and cultural activations; advancing a welcoming, safe environment; and building deep community partnerships that reflect Seattle’s diversity and creativity.
Guided by our Cultural Master Plan—developed with input from more than 140 artists, organizers, and community leaders—Friends ensures programming that fosters connection, celebrates heritage, and expands belonging along the shoreline. In September 2025, Friends produced the Grand Opening Celebration, welcoming more than 50,000 visitors to experience the waterfront’s new era as a vibrant civic space.
