Event Overview
From its beginnings, Seattle has been a city shaped by waterways. While early developments supported industrial trade rather than leisure and tourism, the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and a new urban design by Field Operations (designers of The High Line, New York City), has transformed the waterfront into a lively public space, bringing together people, industry, infrastructure, and local ecosystems. On this tour, we’ll explore historic and redeveloped sites that blend Seattle’s maritime history and modern design to serve today’s diverse waterfront visitors.
