EBC wants to hear from you!
The project is in the design phase and a survey on the greenway trail and park concept design is available on the EBC website through June 9. Your feedback will guide the design team in prioritizing key features and amenities as they finalize the project design.
Construction is expected to begin in early 2025 and be complete by Summer 2026, in time for Seattle to welcome the FIFA World Cup. Visit www.ElliottBayConnections.org for more details about the project and sign up for the EBC mailing list to stay informed about the latest project updates.
