When registering, please consider a donation of $10 or more per person to support our nonprofit volunteer work. All of The Urbanists events and educational programs are free and open to the general public, and we appreciate your support!

The Urbanist's tour series takes you to the hidden nooks and splendid neighborhoods across Seattle and the greater Puget Sound region. Join us with local experts to explore and learn about our built and natural environments.

For July we are partnering with the Community Package Coalition. They are a broad alliance of neighborhood organizations and nonprofit advocates seeking key public benefits from the Convention Center expansion, the largest real estate project in Seattle's history. On this tour the Coalition will lead us through most of the project locations, including First Hill's Terry Avenue Promenade, Freeway Park, Pike-Pine protected bike lanes, and the Lid I-5 study area. They'll also discuss affordable housing opportunities and the project's proposed on-site benefits.

We'll also be joined by UNITE HERE, the labor union representing hospitality workers, to discuss how the Convention Center affects the lives of local employees and residents.

Please note: this is the full tour.

Meeting directions: Meet outside Frye Art Museum at the Corner of Cherry Street and Terry Avenue.

Walking distance:1.3 miles

We'll be visiting Freeway Park prior to the start of its Fountain Festival, and at the end of the tour you're encouraged to return to the park and join the fun! The Fountain Festival runs 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM. Designers from Site Workshop will also be there to take your feedback on improving Freeway Park for navigation, accessibility, and family friendliness!
