of City funding in 2018. This public hearing is required by Section 5 of

Additional information about the Seattle Asian Art Museum Renovation
Project is available in Clerk File No. 320418 online at

Parks Central Waterfront Piers Rehabilitation Project
The Seattle City Council’s Select Budget Committee will hold a public
hearing regarding proposed legislation that would adopt a Capital
Improvement Project related to the Waterfront Park and Pier 62/63, both
of which are public park facilities that provide public access to Elliott Bay
and host a range of public events, markets and performances. Both
piers need a full seismic upgrade to meet current life safety codes, and
Waterfront Park needs significant access improvements. Waterfront
Park is envisioned as a flexible public recreation and open space. Pier
62/63 is anticipated to be more heavily programmed, with a flexible
activity rink, events, and performances. The Department of Parks and
Recreation (DPR) owns the piers, but the Office of the Waterfront will
lead the rehabilitation. The Pier 62/63 Phase 1 Rebuild will be the first
element completed in this project, with construction anticipated to begin
in 2018. This project is part of the overall waterfront improvement
program. The project, if adopted as proposed, will commit $54,448,000
of City funding in 2018. This public hearing is required by Section 5 of
Resolution 31203, adopted by the City Council in 2010.

Rehabilitation Project is available in Clerk File No. 320419 online at
