Walk Seattle’s waterfront from Victor Steinbrueck Park to Pioneer Square, with guide James, old photos, Indigenous connections, and new public spaces.
“Enjoyed a live narrated walk (thank you James!) starting at the re-opened park vista near the Pike Place Market, down the new hill climb walkway to the also new Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavillion. While so much is new and changed (amazing planter boxes filled with lush well tended plantings) we were shown old photos of what was (while looking at it today) and to see and learn about the rich history. Was truly a delightful way to spend a couple of hours in the fresh air in the new Seattle waterfront park.”
