Exciting to have this map!

Hey South Park and Georgetown neighbors 📣 The new Duwamish Valley Program Map is here 📍

Community organizations and 18 City of Seattle Government departments are doing amazing work in the region 🚲 Together, we’ve added sidewalks and bike lanes, trees, flood prevention, and much more.

This first-of-its-kind map of the Duwamish Valley offers a central view of 60+ City-funded projects that we’ll update annually 🗺️ This is just a glimpse, featuring exciting projects from Seattle Parks and Recreation 📸

“The map responds directly to a long‑standing community request for accessible, place‑based information about the neighborhood,” said Paulina Lopez, executive director of Duwamish River Community Coalition 🏞️ We plotted youth development programs like DRCC’s Youth Corps program, teaching environmental justice and job skills.

Thank you to the dozens of partners dedicated to building a thriving region 💚 Kudos to Seattle Public Utilities for supporting the creation of this map, and Seattle Information Technology’s mapping team for bringing this to life!

Hear from Cayce James and Jose Manuel Vasquez about !
Every American city bears the legacy of highways that divided communities — and every city is grappling with what to do about them now.
Join KUOW and Ian Coss, host of the Peabody Award–winning podcast The Big Dig, for a live taping that looks at Seattle’s own efforts to confront this challenge and repair the harms of the past. The event takes place Monday, October 27, at 7 p.m. at the Central Library in downtown Seattle.
Coss will be joined on stage by KUOW’s Joshua McNichols, host of the Booming podcast, along with featured guests who have lived and shaped these debates — from the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct to South Park.
The Big Dig from GBH News explores Boston’s controversial project to bury a downtown highway — once the most expensive public works project in U.S. history — and the lessons it offers for today’s infrastructure ambitions. The series was named one of the best podcasts of 2023 by The New Yorker and one of the best podcasts of all time by Time magazine.

We appreciate your feedback to-date, and continue to further along the Potential Futures Analysis of the SR-99 corridor through South Park. Your input led us to compile four Potential Futures - identified as Options - to illustrate new possibilities for the existing highway right-of-way, and guide a comparative technical analysis by City of Seattle, their consultant team Kimley-Horn, and our coalition.

This survey is critical to revise/refine the conceptual Options, visualizing their key elements, and incorporating new ideas into the Potential Futures Analysis. This technical study, paired with your feedback on each Option, will shape a Draft Community Vision Plan, setting the stage for our next engagement campaign in Spring 2025.
