Reminder: Extended Lake Washington Blvd closure for Labor Day weekend

This Friday afternoon through Tuesday morning, we’ll close 3 miles of Lake Washington Blvd to pass through traffic and open it to people walking, rolling, and biking. The 3-mile closure will extend from Mt Baker Park to Seward Park along Lake Washington Blvd. 

We’ll continue these weekend closures through at least September to create more space for people to bike, walk, roll, and enjoy Lake Washington.

Important details  

Local access
People driving to homes along the boulevard because they live there, are visiting, or making deliveries are allowed from the nearest cross street.  

Cleanliness 
Based on neighbor input, we added a portable toilet to the Ferdinand parking lot and are servicing the Adams St portable toilet daily. We also deployed additional garbage cans in a few locations along the Blvd. 
 
Data collection
We’ll continue 
collecting traffic count  data at S Genesee St (east of 38th Ave S), S McClellan St (east of 31st Ave S), and Wilson Ave S (northwest of S Lucille St). We added a counter to collect data for Hunter Blvd S.  

Staff will also observe and collect counts on the number of people walking, biking, and rolling along the street closure. 

Parking
While all parking lots are open, we’re limiting which lot entrances are open to minimize driving on Lake Washington Blvd. 
The map above and linked here shows parking lot access. 

Please take extra caution at the entrance of Stan Sayres Memorial Park and Mt Baker Rowing & Sailing Center where there’s a higher volume of people driving in and out of the parking lot entrance with boats. We're including physical separation between people walking/biking and people driving along that stretch to make access easier and safer.
