Friends of Alki Beach

Friends of Alki Beach is seeking funding for Phase One of the Alki Avenue Revitalization Project, focused on improving pedestrian safety and supporting small business recovery along the critical "Restaurant Row" corridor on Alki Avenue between 55th to 62nd Streets. This area supports some of Seattle’s highest traffic in the summer. But in the winter with dark neglected park areas and no summer tourists, area restaurants suffer extremely low traffic. As the City repairs long-neglected light posts in this busy but struggling district, this project proposes adding custom-designed flags to enhance visibility, signal positive change, and break the cycle of neglect—addressing the "broken-window syndrome”. These colorful, well-placed flags serve as affordable, high-impact wayfinding tools that make the corridor more inviting, walkable, and vibrant. The project directly aligns with city goals to foster safe, pedestrian-friendly streets and sustain local small businesses.
