Summary

  1. What will be the immediate impact of the Alaskan Way Viaduct’s demolition?
  2. How will the investment and development along the waterfront trickle south and east across Seattle?
  3. How can public and private partnerships shine during this process – as private developers and public organizations (i.e. Port of Seattle) race to reinvest and developer?
  4. What, if any, concerns surround the removal of the Viaduct and revitalization of the waterfront?
  5. What projects along the waterfront are set to come online first and beyond those what is a realistic timeline for waterfront development?
