Went to a work event this week at the #FlatStickPub in #PioneerSquare #Seattle, and enjoyed this random bit of wall art in there.

SDOT begins work on permanent remake of 3rd/Yesler

Final design from SDOT.

After years of piloting solutions and testing how they impact transit service, SDOT is beginning work on a rebuild of the complicated intersection at 3rd Ave and Yesler Way in Pioneer Square that they hope will prevent the potentially deadly collisions that were unfortunately common there previously.

“The intersection of 3rd and Yesler has experienced a high number of collisions for people walking and biking,” wrote SDOT on the project webpage. “In particular, drivers are prone to hitting pedestrians in the west and north crosswalks of 3rd and Yesler. To mitigate these collisions, we are making safety improvements that we have tested over the past two years.”

The intersection also serves as a connection between the 2nd and 4th Avenue bike lanes, and is the primary southbound option for people using the 4th Ave lane since that unfortunately lane does not continue southbound on 4th. That could change someday since the Seattle Transportation Plan calls for a continuous bike lane on 4th all the way to Seattle Boulevard S, which then connects to the upcoming Georgetown to Downtown bike route.

The 3rd and Yesler redesign includes new bicycle signals and hardened bike lane protection heading downhill from the intersection toward the waterfront. Later this year, SDOT is planning on a short bike lane to fill in the gap between the 2nd Ave bike lane and the new waterfront bikeway. All these small projects are coming together to create some big connections, allowing people to bike up and down the waterfront and connect into the downtown bike network without ever leaving a protected bike lane.

More details on the 3rd and Yesler project:

Improve safety and areas for people walking and rolling: Align and shorten pedestrian crossings, repair and widen sidewalks, install curb ramps and curb bulbs, and permanently remove the travel lanes that were removed in the pilot project.
Upgrade protected bike lane: Install bicycle signal heads, provide permanent bike lane protection along Yesler Way west of 3rd Ave, repave the bike lane on Dilling Way, and redesign the bike crossing across 3rd Ave to separate people on bikes from people walking.
Improve public spaces: Provide additional street trees, pedestrian lighting, and wayfinding signs.

We were walking around Pioneer Square a few weeks ago, looking for a place to eat lunch. We popped into this place, Shawn O'Donnell's, right there under Smith Tower. I come to find out that they have five other locations, including one up in the Skagit Valley where I just had lunch a few days ago after riding bicycle around the daffodil fields. Good food and beer. #beer #beerfoamart #food #pub #pubfood #burger #Seattle #PioneerSquare #Kilkenny #ale #Irish

Beer foam art. Line art on beer foam in a glass, depicting koi fish and lily pads.

Two glasses of beer, Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale on the left, and Smithwick's Red Ale on the right.

Two plates each with a pub burger and fries.

On the way home...

Though the Pioneer Building was completed in 1892, it is still a beautiful centerpiece of the neighborhood. #seattle #pioneersquare

City busses and things.... #pioneersquare #seattle

I'm not saying I'm obsessed with alleys... But they're so magical, as if peering through time.

Between Jackson and King...and Occidental and 2nd.

Pioneer Square....one of the most photogenic neighborhoods, with the coolest history and stories.

Surrounded by buildings built from 1889 to 1917.

I have always loved the small details on the old buildings in the neighborhood. Things we don't notice unless we stop and look up.

So many times and moments we notice and focus on the negative bits...the parts that make us sad, or annoyed because the city seems to be changing for the worse.

But remembering how difficult things were 123 years ago...puts those moments into perspective a bit more.
