Waterfront Revival<\/h1>\n

This year, Seattle officially unveiled its ambitious and expansive waterfront transformation. Today you’ll encounter new landscaped pathways, art-filled gathering spaces, and dramatic new viewpoints spanning beautiful Elliott Bay, from the sports stadiums near Pioneer Square to Pike Place Market to Belltown. For visitors, this dramatic restoration of one of the city’s most popular districts has been a complete game changer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new waterfront provides so many new and improved opportunities for connection,\u201d says Kevin Clark, CEO of the sightseeing outfitter Argosy Cruises<\/a>. \u201cExpanded walking and biking paths better connect businesses and attractions, while new public amenities and activated spaces provide visitors more ways to engage with the neighborhood\u2019s natural beauty and community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are some of the exciting features to watch for as you explore.<\/p>\n
