It keeps people away from the tunnel traffic along that road. It's still a work in progress with many developments planned in the future. There's still a lot of construction near Belltown as of June 2025. We stayed in a hotel near the park. It's super close to Pier 66. The park currently connects Pioneer Square with Pier 62, and has great views of Elliott Bay. We took the elevator up to the Overlook Walk so that we could gain access to Pike Place Market. There are also stairs that take you there from each side of the walkway. I don't remember it being this easy back in 2011. Heck, I don't even remember seeing the ferris wheel at Pier 57. When did that happen? It's a large and beautiful greenspace that's perfect for locals & tourists alike. We kind of lost our bearings for a bit, but then it became all clear that we were headed the right way to the market. I really like what they have done here. It will be cool to see it again once it's all done, and there's no more construction. It was a nice walk along the bay.

Pioneer Square Habitat Beach takes up a fantastic little slice right next to the downtown ferry…read more It was pretty busy when we dropped in, with several people with dogs playing in the water, and even a cat on a leash. The honey and I nabbed a log and enjoyed the ferry coming in while we ate our general porpoise. The beach has sand, but it's fairly light with much of the space made up of rocks with quite a bit of driftwood. All in all a pretty sweet place to decompress before getting on the ferry.

Best rafting in the states…read more The guides are the best. They're super knowledgeable, friendly, and safe! They'll keep you safe on the water and make sure you have a good time too. They make these little stops along the river and tell you about the area. Blair the owner is a saint and will make sure your time on the river is the best that is possible. The Guides: James Michael is the best looking man in a wetsuit that ever lived, and will keep you safe. Robin is a motivator and is good with people that are meek or first timers.
