Swift Ave S, S Myrtle St, and S Othello are two-way arterials serving south Seattle. The streets link Holly Park and Beacon Hill to Interstate 5 (I-5). Our goal is to improve the safety, accessibility, and comfort for all users. From April 1-5, 2019, we’re grinding the pavement on Swift Ave S, as part of a larger effort to repave areas of Swift Ave S, S Myrtle St, and S Othello between S Albro Pl and Martin Luther King Jr Way S.
Here’s what you can expect:
