On Tuesday a new multi-use path for pedestrians, cyclists and runners will fully open on the Seattle waterfront. It will run along Alaskan Way, replacing the old streetcar tracks and sidewalks with a modern space featuring plantings, trees, lighting and benches. New signs and maps will help visitors navigate the waterfront and nearby neighborhoods.
The project was delivered through a partnership led by Elliott Bay Connections with support from private donations by Melinda French Gates, MacKenzie Scott and other philanthropists. Part of the trail has already been opened for use during cruise season, providing a safe detour around construction tied to the Alaskan Way safety project.
