    Waterfront: Waterfront Freeway
  • Tip Rating:
  • Seattle’s Double Decker Waterfront Freeway - Seattle
    Seattle’s Double Decker
    Waterfront Freeway
    by SteveOSF
    Send Photo to a Friend
    With a double decker freeway built right along a good portion of its waterfront, Seattle is reminiscing of San Francisco before its Embarcadero Freeway was removed. San Francisco’s Embarcadero Freeway obscured much of the San Francisco skyline. But the freeway was removed after suffering substantial damage during the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989, resulting in opening up the area’s views and allowing sunlight to reach the ground. A renaissance then occurred in the newly uncovered district.

    If Seattle could find a transportation alternative to its waterfront freeway, its waterfront would be rejuvenated. Views would be reestablished, light would again illuminate the sidewalks, and business would thrive. But where would the cars go?

    Victor Steinbrueck Park is at the northern tip of Pike Place Market. It has very relaxed atmosphere. In the grass area you often see people reading, sun tanning, or taking a break from biking or jogging. The Park is decorated with totem poles to celebrate native culture. There are also some homeless people hanging around the Park.

    The photo shows downtown skyline as seen from Victor Steinbrueck Park. It was a clear and sunny day, and you can see Mt. Rainer in the photo. You have to enlarge the photo and look hard. It's above the stadium buildings to the right.

    Waterfront: If you had never been to...
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you had never been to Seattle before, you absoulutely have to see the city view from Alki at night and watch the ferries glide elegantly over the water. It is so gorgeous!

    My fondest memory of Seattle was when I first moved here. I lived in this 1 bdrm. apt. with 5 people. It was on the corner of Olive St. in Seattle. I saw for the first time a person with paint on their face, and freaked out! I literally cried, I was so scared. Coming from a little town with a pop. of 400, it was some serious shock!

    Waterfront: A stroll on the waterfront
    One of my favorite things about Seattle was walking along the waterfront. It's even better on a good, clear day. The summer I experienced in Seattle was always sunny and warm. So just stroll along and take in all the waterfront has to offer. If you walk far enough you can see quite a bit. You can catch a ferry (I didn't) or see one of the little touristy shooping areas.
