Pier 62, Waterfront Park

Seattle’s downtown waterfront is undergoing a radical transformation. Now that the 1960s elevated highway has been torn down and replaced with a tunnel, construction of a fully transformed waterfront is underway. With landscape design that will stretch the extent of downtown, Waterfront Park will feature a new promenade, landscape, bike trail, public art, and a sweeping pedestrian bridge connecting downtown to the water.

Working in close collaboration with Seattle’s Office of the Waterfront, a team of cultural consultants, and landscape designers James Corner Field Operations, we are designing interpretive signs and wayfinding for the entire park. We have also developed a new visual brand for the park with Friends of the Waterfront, who will maintain and program this iconic public space after construction is complete. The first elements of our scheme are now in place on Piers 62/63. Watch this space as more elements fall into place over the next several years.
