Downtown Seattle Association Grants

Downtown Seattle Association

The Downtown Seattle Association will install wayfinding blade signs, historic markers, and sidewalk design features along the pedestrian corridor from the Pike Place Market to the Museum of History and Industry (primarily Bell St, Denny Way, and Westlake Ave). Input on corridor branding elements will be gathered at community events, including the September 30 Wooden Boat Festival in South Lake Union Park. Elements will be installed by September 2019, and a community celebration will be held.

This project will complete the installation phase of a Community Crosswalk at the intersection of 7th and Westlake Avenues. This intersection contains a highly confusing five way pedestrian, and bicycle interchange that is unsafe in its current condition. This unique interchange is a great location to create a sense of place and bring together diverse community partners around a common urban design improvement project. This project will be completed by June 2018.
