Friends of Waterfront Seattle is the non-profit partner working with the City of Seattle to reconnect our city to its central shoreline with a 26-block park from Pioneer Square to Belltown. The park features a 9-acre central public space, a landscaped Overlook Walk connecting the Pike Place Market and Seattle Aquarium, and many other amenities.
