A big investment in the heart of downtown! Today we officially opened the MID Deployment Center at Third & Pine — a new operations hub for our 160+ ambassadors who work every day to keep downtown Seattle clean, safe and welcoming.

This space provides storage for our bikes, trikes and equipment, dedicated mechanic shops, opportunities for community partnerships and pop-ups and a visible commitment to one of downtown’s most important intersections.

Thank you to our partners, artists and ambassadors who helped bring this project to life.

Westlake Park is back! The city’s gathering space has officially reopened — refreshed, reimagined and ready for a summer full of community, concerts, events, food and unforgettable moments. Welcome back to the heart of downtown Seattle!

There are some big, international soccer games coming to downtown Seattle in a few weeks, and whether you're attending the matches or just trying to get to work, your commute may look a little different.

Our partners at Commute Seattle launched a go-to resource for navigating this summer. Match days mean street closures, packed trains and rerouted buses, so planning ahead makes all the difference: https://www.commuteseattle.com/sea26/

Let’s hear it for April, our DSA/MID Ambassador of the Month for April (a fitting month to earn the honor)! 👏

April exemplifies our core values of excellence and perseverance. Even before becoming a Community Safety & Hospitality Team trainer, April developed the tools to help new ambassadors retain important information. She recently assisted in the reversing of an overdose.

April, a two-time Ambassador of the Month, consistently goes above and beyond, earning the trust and respect of her peers. Congratulations, April!

It’s almost game time at Westlake Park! Summer of Sports, presented by Nordstrom, begins June 1, with free outdoor watch parties for all the biggest soccer games (a rather large international tournament is coming to town, in case you hadn’t heard). Plus, enjoy daily viewings for Mariners, Storm, Reign, NBA/NHL finals games and more, and food and drinks will be available right in the park courtesy of Bonito Café y Mercadito.

Downtown Seattle is at a pivotal moment, and we want to hear from you. DSA is developing its 10-year strategic plan to shape the future of our city center, and your perspective matters. We've put together a brief survey (7–10 minutes) to gather input from the people who know downtown best.

Please share your feedback by Sunday, June 14: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DSAStrategicPlanCommunityInputSurvey

Third Avenue keeps getting brighter! ✨ We’re thrilled to share the latest addition to our ongoing lighting effort along Third Avenue: more catenary lights strung and glowing, building on the progress we’ve made together.

Huge thanks to our downtown property owners, Seattle Office of Economic Development, Seattle Department of Transportation & King County Metro Transit for making this possible. Every block we light up is another step toward a more welcoming, vibrant downtown for all.
