2024 was a big year for the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and our work to keep you moving throughout the city. Our theme in 2024 was to Deliver Safer Streets.

We completed projects large and small and worked to finish strong in the final year of the voter-approved Levy to Move Seattle. We hope you enjoy reading this year’s highlights.
