To kick of the construction of the public art aspects of the future park promenade, we poured foundations and placed anchors for the “dolos” elements of Buster Simpson’s Migration stage – these are the tetrapods that mimic shoreline erosion control structures.

We completed an exciting concrete pour on the Union St bridge deck. We have been working on installing rebar in preparation for the pour and are getting closer to opening a new and improved connection between downtown and the waterfront, planned for fall 2022!
Construction schedule*
*Waterfront Seattle construction was delayed into 2025 due to COVID-19 impacts and a lack of concrete delivery availability between December 2021 and April 2022 as a result of a concrete strike in King County. We have assessed the overall program delay impacts and we continue to implement mitigation strategies. Take a look at the schedule below for the latest information on our construction timeline.
