Waterfront Seattle / Friends is a founding member of the High Line Network, a movement in cities across the world to reclaim underutilized infrastructure and reimagine it as public space.

Our goal is to make the central waterfront a public mixing ground where all communities can share cultural, recreational, and civic experiences in a beautiful environment. Following the public-benefit partnership model, we educate the public about the park and its benefits, raise philanthropic funds to build the park, and will partner with the City to manage, fund, and program the park long-term.

From their scattered shouts over the noise of the Alaskan Way Viaduct to their tight gathering at the waterfront edge, gesturing at the sunset, the dancers delighted and awed throughout.вЂќ вЂ“В Seattle DancesДЇriends of Waterfront SeattleВ is the City of SeattleвЂ™s nonprofit partner helping to build the park and ensure its lasting success. вЂњLarge scale and transformative, Kinesis Project took on the space between an urban backdrop and the natural world beyond inВ Traces of UsВ last weekend.
