Pike Street Hill Climb
The Pike Street Hill Climb attracts a continuous flow of locals and tourists traveling between Seattle’s historic waterfront and Pike Place Market. Decades of constant foot traffic was beginning to take its toll, so in partnership with Friends of Waterfront Seattle, the City of Seattle Office of the Waterfront, the Seattle Design Festival, Space City, and DLR Group, DSA has created a plan to make this public space more inviting and more usable. Revitalization is already underway, beginning a deep clean, a colorful mural new mural and improved lighting. Additional landscaping and art installations will eventually weave together a climb as vibrant as the two locations it connects.
