I walked around the Seattle Waterfront this afternoon.
It is still somewhat of a work in progress.
The new Colman Dock ferry terminal is nearing completion, but several walkways and connections to the Waterfront are still under construction.
The passenger building at the new Seattle Ferry Terminal is a vast improvement over the old one: it fully faces the waters of Puget Sound, with large windows looking onto Elliott Bay and also back at the city.The passenger walkway at Marion Street across Alaskan Way, connecting the downtown surface streets with the Seattle Ferry Terminal.Looking back (south) towards the Seattle Ferry Terminal.Miners Landing is still there, as are all the other touristy t-shirt and souvenir shops, restaurants and food joints.I made it to the Pike Place Market complex, on the Old Stove Brewing patio and looking south. The construction is for the Overlook Walk: an elevated public park and connection between the Waterfront to Seattle’s urban core.The summer cruise season is in full swing by now. This is the Norwegian Encore, getting ready for its 5 pm departure to Juneau, Alaska.Now making my way back to Capitol Hill. ‘Don’t mind me, please, driver’ I thought as I snapped this picture of a forest green Rivian R1T electric truck.Crossing Third Avenue in downtown. The 1928 Belltown Self Storage building is now closed, and plans are afoot to build a new 8-story combination hotel and apartment structure behind the terracotta facade.Just a little bit further north on Third Ave is First Light Seattle, a luxury condominium tower that is going up. Construction is by real estate developer Westbank Corp from Vancouver, BC.
