<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Faiza and I am on the outreach team for the <a href="https://waterfrontseattle.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
Seattle Waterfront program</a>. We haven’t met with the accessibility roundtable in a while but plan to meet with your group in December or January to discussion this outreach opportunity and other aspects of the program.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you may have heard, <a href="https://waterfrontseattle.org/waterfront-projects/pier-58" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
Pier 58</a>, located between the Aquarium and Pier 57, is currently being removed and that work is anticipated to finish in early 2021. At the same time, the pier is being redesigned to create a public park with improved access, safety, and a flexible space
for programming. The new pier park is being designed with families and young children in mind, with a 5, 000 sq ft playground, spaces to relax and a public plaza that will be programmed by
<a href="https://waterfrontparkseattle.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Friends of Waterfront Seattle</a>. Construction of the new pier is anticipated to begin in late 2022.<i><u></u><u></u></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><u></u> <u></u></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>We want to hear from you! <u></u><u></u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to COVID precautions, all our engagement for this new pier will be virtual this year through
<a href="https://pier58.participate.online/?utm_source=CommunityOrgs&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Pier58Feedback" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
an online open house</a> that will be open through <b>Dec. 6</b>. It is available in
<a href="http://pier58-chinese.participate.online/?utm_source=CommunityOrgs&utm_medium=ChineseFlyer&utm_campaign=Pier58Feedback" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
Chinese</a>, <a href="http://pier58-spanish.participate.online/?utm_source=CommunityOrgs&utm_medium=SpanishFlyer&utm_campaign=Pier58Feedback" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
Spanish</a> and<a href="http://pier58-somali.participate.online/?utm_source=CommunityOrgs&utm_medium=SomaliFlyer&utm_campaign=Pier58Feedback" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"> Somali</a> as well. We’ve created a video overview of the new design (there is also an accessible PDF available) and
there is an opportunity to provide feedback on the overall pier design, playground, restroom and future programming. The playground and an adjacent restroom are in very early stages of development.

<p class="MsoNormal">We would love to get your organization’s feedback and your help to promote this feedback opportunity in your communities. We want to hear what would make you feel welcomed and at home in this space, and value your input. We have attached
