The waterfront has been a hive of activity after ramping up construction of our improvements in Pioneer Square earlier this year. We are starting to see the fruits of our labor manifest like the steady maturation of trees planted and the 4.3 acres of new plant space (over three football fields!) starting to bloom. We also continue to build greener pathways for commuters, residents and tourists thanks to more than three miles of new bike lanes. Our green thumbs have been hard at work to bring the vision of the waterfront to life and we appreciate your continued support and patience in watching the seeds of the waterfront bud, bloom and blossom!<br> <br>Below are a few program updates: <o:p></o:p></span></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#606060;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>The <a href="https://waterfrontseattle.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74d6f1b443703d02c3eb093c5&id=a52baa2097&e=68d44d81d8" target="_blank"><span style='color:#606060'>Pioneer Square East West Pedestrian Improvements Project </span></a>expanded to Yesler Way and S Main St earlier this month.

I work behind the scenes supporting the Director and entire City team. I act as a liaison between other City departments, government entities, City Council, the Mayor’s Office, non-profit and community partners. <br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My proudest moment on this project is… </span></strong><br>So far it has been the recognition this hard-working team has received from the media, most recently via Crosscut and ARC Seattle. Many do not understand the complex work that goes on daily with such a large scale and visible projects with a small City team leading the project in our office. <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My favorite memory of working on the waterfront is... </span></strong><br>The tribal blessing during the honorary naming ceremony at the Elliott Way opening. The blessing was given by members of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and Suquamish Tribe as the City recognized honorary name, Dzidzilalich, of the street. For every resident of Seattle, we must recognize that we stand on the lands and shared waters of the Puget Sound Coast Salish People, whose ancestors resided here since time immemorial. With gratitude, we honor the land, the water, and its peoples.<br><br>My favorite things outside of work include... <br>I love watching basketball. I enjoy cooking, trying new restaurants in the city and spending time with my family. I always enjoy beating my kiddos at a game of HORSE. <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My favorite spring activity on the waterfront is...</span></strong> <br>Walking to the Pier 56 picnic tables on a lunch break to catch the view. <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My professional background is in...</span></strong> <br>Municipal finance and budgeting. I have over a decade of experience building complex city budgets and capital plans. I started out at the City of Kirkland where I developed a broad base of knowledge in a small city setting and I came to Seattle in 2020 where I have specialized in complex financial plans, funding strategies, and high-profile projects like the West Seattle Bridge repairs, the Transportation Levy Renewal proposal, and of course the Waterfront! <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My key contributions to the project include:</span></strong> <br>Managing the Office of the Waterfront’s budget process each year and working every day with the Project Controls team to ensure that we are communicating effectively with our funding partners and getting our bills paid on time. <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My proudest moment on this project is…</span></strong> <br>Securing funding in the 2023 budget to purchase a building at the foot of the Pike Place Hillclimb for use by the Suquamish and Muckleshoot Indian tribes for a heritage center, helping the City fulfill a longstanding promise from the Seawall permitting process. <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My favorite memory of working on the waterfront is...</span></strong> <br>Any time I get a chance to talk about the waterfront and all the improvements as part of a tour or presentation – it is fun to share our excitement for the program with others! <br> <br><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My favorite things outside of work include...</span></strong> <br>Going camping with my family – my wife, two girls, and two dogs all climb in our truck camper, and we get out for about 30+ nights a year across all of Washington State. I also love going to UW football games, especially when I get to ride my bike there!<o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:6.75pt 0in 0in 0in;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-left:-2.25pt;margin-right:-2.25pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><tr><td width=600 valign=top style='width:6.25in;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;max-width:100%;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;float:left'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#606060'>Follow us on social media, links below, to stay up to date on all of our projects!<br> <br>With gratitude,<br>Waterfront Seattle <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></div></td></tr><tr><td valign=top style='border:solid #999999 1.0pt;border-top:none;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=600 style='width:6.25in;background:white;border-collapse:collapse;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;min-width: 100%' id=templateFooter><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 6.75pt 0in;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:6.75pt 0in 0in 0in;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-left:-2.25pt;margin-right:-2.25pt;max-width:100%;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;float:left'><tr><td width=600 valign=top style='width:6.25in;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:125%'><span style='font-size:8.5pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#606060'>Thank you for being a part of the Waterfront Program. <br><br><em><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Copyright © 2024 Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects, All rights reserved.</span></em><br><br><u><a href="https://waterfrontseattle.us2.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=74d6f1b443703d02c3eb093c5&id=8a04326f5a&t=b&e=68d44d81d8&c=5edbf7af2c" target="_blank"><span style='color:#606060'>unsubscribe from this list</span></a></u> <u><a href="https://waterfrontseattle.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74d6f1b443703d02c3eb093c5&id=81e7a2689a&e=68d44d81d8"><span style='color:#606060'>update subscription preferences</span></a></u> <br><br>Having trouble reading this email?
