Downtown Seattle's "Overlook Walk" connecting Pike Place and other downtown areas to the waterfront. For many folks these days, the mental picture isn’t great. And for good reason. It’s been a tough season for downtown Seattle.It had been a minute since I had been downtown. But earlier this fall, we went for dinner. Then a few weeks later, we went for a movie. A day or so later, we went shopping.
I know downtown isn’t perfect and I know there are still significant concerns over the number of unhoused people, crime-heavy hot spots and empty retail and office space. Still, I can’t help feeling hopeful again about what I see with my own eyes. We can all gripe about the city council, the mayor, the police and so on. However, it does feel like we’ve reached a pivotal new moment — and it’s a moment that maybe you want to see with your own eyes.If it’s been a while since you were downtown, I would love to invite you to explore the amazing new aquarium extension. Then, after that, why not stroll the dockside promenade? Then climb the terraces that make up the new Overlook Park.
Then, the next time someone says the words “Downtown Seattle,” your mental picture will be a little more up-to-date.When I say the words"Downtown Seattle," what image comes to your mind?
