Construction Update on East-West Pedestrian Improvements
Waterfront Seattle continues progress on east-west pedestrian improvements in Pioneer Square. Only finishing touches remain on S Main St west of 1st Ave S, and construction has started east of 1st Ave S. Construction of Yesler Way improvements are underway.
Meanwhile, work on S Washington St west of 1st Ave S continues – brick pavement patterns showing the original shoreline of the waterfront were installed several weeks ago. You can check out the timelapse of that work here.
