Neighborhood Driven Design

The South Jackson Street Connections project considers how the waterfront connected to adjacent areas including Pioneer Square, Chinatown-International District and the transportation hub. An upswing in new construction, infill development, and redevelopment along the South Jackson corridor have highlighted the desire for a more cohesive vision for directing improvements in the public realm. Previous community outreach efforts have indicated a consistent desire from those who live and work in the area to celebrate and reflect the rich diversity of histories to be included in the public realm, particularly in connection to the Seattle Waterfront.
