The new, elevated waterfront park opened Friday, connecting Pike Place Market, downtown neighborhoods and the waterfront.

A project consultant estimates that Seattle’s Waterfront Park could attract up to 20 million visitors annually, with around 90,000 daily during peak summer periods. Completion of the $70 million Overlook Walk is a big part of that.

Seattle's first-ever pedestrian connection between the waterfront and downtown is faster than you might think.

Seattle's new Overlook Walk opened to the public on Friday, connecting the city's iconic Pike Place Market to the Waterfront Park Promenade.

After all the talk, people are finally able to do the Overlook Walk. The $70 million project officially opened to the public.

Construction began in 2022 on the multi-level park, which sits on the footprint of the former Alaskan Way Viaduct.
