Overlook Park, a new public park is in the works on Friday Harbor with big views and new connections between the waterfront and town. Perched between Friday Harbor House and The Island Inn, the park experience begins with an overlook pier like structure. The first point of departure is a series of steps and viewing eddies that ascent to the waterfront. Materiality of the park is inspired by weathered wood, organic shapes, and geological striations. #parks, Olson Kundig

It won’t be too much longer until the southern edge of the MarketFront pavilion and plaza at Pike Place Market will finally connect to Overlook Walk, the new aquarium and Waterfront Park! When MarketFront was completed the Viaduct still stood. The Miller Hull Partnership, LLP Sellen Construction Pike Place Market Foundation

We are so excited to share that the City of Everett, WA approved Everett Housing Authority's entitlements for the Park District this month. This is an ambitious 16-acre development with up to 1,500 mixed-income housing units, new community-centered retail and civic uses, open space and other neighborhood amenities near public transit. MAKERS led the entitlements portion of the project over a two-year process, in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of the region's most accomplished designers and experts (Framework Cultural Placemaking, GGLO Design, MIG, Berger Partnership, Heffron Transportation, Inc., Ecotope, Inc., EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC, REAL RETAIL INC, Graham Baba Architects, Johnston Architects, and NATALIE QUICK CONSULTING LLC) over a two-year process. The Park District represents a new model of sustainable mixed-use development, with much needed housing clustered around a new park and pedestrian-oriented streets connected to the neighborhood. We look forward to seeing the project realized in the coming years! #housingdevelopment #affordablehousing #neighborhoodplanning #communityplanning #urbandesign #everettwa

Freeway Revolt: You may have noticed this small but significant freeway remnant – a simple structural arch, or “Bent," preserved and integrated into the Washington Park Arboretum landscape . It is a physical and temporal marker, symbolizing the citywide movement that stopped the freeway expansion and destruction of homes, neighborhoods, and parks by a diverse coalition of activists. It stands as an enduring reminder of what could have been and celebrates the power of grassroots civic activism.
