Waterfront Seattle is kicking off a design process for the Bell Street project, which supports the program’s goal to create more accessible and comfortable east-west connections. This project focuses on Bell St, from 1st Ave to Elliott Ave, and includes opportunities to enhance public space and add new landscaping and other amenities, along with better connecting Belltown to the waterfront.

To better understand what specific improvements the community wants to see, Waterfront Seattle has launched an online open house available through February 12. Participating in the online open house will allow you to learn more about the project, the existing conditions and site considerations, and how it fits into larger waterfront improvements. This is a great opportunity for community members like you to share thoughts on the future of this space. What are your priorities? What mode of travel and amenities would you like to see prioritized? Let Waterfront Seattle know! 

In addition to the online open house, the Waterfront Seattle team will be presenting similar information to the Belltown Community Council at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, February 8, on the 2nd floor of Antioch University (2400 3rd Ave #200, Seattle, WA 98121). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join that meeting as well.
