Waters Avenue Median Pedestrian Improvements

About This Grant

The Rainier Beach community is gearing up for landscaping improvements along Waters Avenue South. Managed by the Waters Median Project, this initiative will build on the success of the previous four phases of this well-established neighborhood effort. We plan to remove invasive weeds and plants from a large section of the median, and will install a walking path, native and drought-tolerant perennials, and a native wildflower meadow. We’ll also install a small seating area with a bench. This project will improve the walkability and safety of the neighborhood and create habitat for Pacific Northwest flora and fauna in our urban area. The anticipated project completion date is February 28, 2026.
