Join me as I take a walk the Seattle waterfront to film progress including the newly opened Overlook Walk which connects Pike Place Market to the Seattle waterfront.
I was there for opening hour when the fences were removed for the first time.
In this walking tour I show you around to see whether this multi-billion dollar rework of the Seattle waterfront is good for walking and gathering.

I love this 'walk and talk' video concept. Nice to see a perspective from a real person. Hope you make more videos like this.

@GeminiWalkandTalk 8 дней назад

I will. Lots more coming

Great video, thank you for this. Your English is fantastic!

Great comprehensive look at the area. 10x better than the local news showed. Appreciate the informative commentary.

@GeminiWalkandTalk 6 дней назад

Thanks. You get what I'm going for 😁

I was randomly walking in the area around the same time and so was lucky to check it out right after it opened as well. Very happy with the results and I totally agree with you that Seattle really needed a nice gathering area in downtown. This is the perfect location for it, too, with the views and the access to the market and the waterfront walk. Great video! Glad to hear a local give their take on the new walkway.

Thanks for watching and the comment. I have a lot more local videos coming

Looks great. More importantly, the seawall has been updated/fixed. This has been a lengthy, expensive, and arduous process. Awesome that Melinda and Mckenzie chipped in to support the local community.

@GeminiWalkandTalk День назад

That did take a lot of time

Just watched your video, heading to Pike Market in few hours from Portland. Seattle is my favorite city & California is my favorite state. Thank you for a great video.

Hooray! Love to see improvements in Seattle. I’m especially loving the new play areas for kids. That octopus playground looks like it will be awesome 🎉

@deedeemegadoodoo2897 День назад

I think the multi-lane surface roads are to accommodate the cars travelling by ferry. It was always a disaster getting off of the ferry from Bremerton or Bainbridge.

@GeminiWalkandTalk День назад

That’s a good point. However, I’d prefer if they routed that traffic to 1st/2nd ave up in the city and left more space on the waterfront for pedestrians and more peaceful surroundings.

@wallychesler1484 2 дня назад

This Guy is only partly right about open spaces. Seattle has Volunteer Park, Woodland Park and Greenlake (3 ) Overhead Freeway Parks , and many many large parks amd open spaces throughout Seattle. He just comes from Europe where most towns a d cities have a town square.

@GeminiWalkandTalk 2 дня назад

Those places are not in downtown except the freeway park which is small and awkward

@thecyberseer 8 дней назад

Well done. It could have been better but it's a big improvement

@leobethge6002 2 дня назад

Yes, definitely worth a visit. A lot of pedestrian traffic, which is great. Give the waterfront back to the people, not a stacked highway separating Seattle from the waterfront. Great job Seattle!

@GeminiWalkandTalk День назад

It’s a big improvement

Good video and good commentary. They tore out the old Viaduct (the 2 highways stacked on top of each other) and replaced it with a tunnel and this road. I assume they will add more greenery, and most of it is supposed to be finished in 2025. That is a pier they are replacing over the water.

@GeminiWalkandTalk 5 дней назад

@peterdorn5799 5 дней назад

ocean pavilion is amazing, the overlook walk opens out. 4, aquarium to sculpture park be green with trees and pedestrian walk w/ bike trail around the bay across the west seatle bridge to alki biking that would be a nice video, overlook walk, check it out

Gee such harsh criticism of such an amazing development. To expect no cars or access is wild. The knocked down an elevated concrete ugly and made this! It is amazing. If you want disappointment come to Tacoma’s waterfront. We could only dream of having half of this development. Overall live all of it and the vitality. The park is very modern. Active with tons of people.

@idfwpwdfwm 3 дня назад

What most people including yourself fail to understand about there still being an existing road that runs through the waterfront is that there are still businesses that need to have access and there still being a Ferry ⛴️ Terminal that people drive their vehicles off and on to commute to and from the islands. Also, I don’t understand why there’s an issue with seeing concrete? How else would a big structural overlook and expanded walking and bike path been built or added? There’s plenty of green space waking distance further up near and around Olympic Sculpture Park, Myrtle Edwards Park and beyond.

@GeminiWalkandTalk 3 дня назад

Business can be walked to, concrete is depressing and ugly. Hope that helps

@preetsharma7457 3 дня назад

⁠@@GeminiWalkandTalk but then how would you build a huge structure like overlook without concrete? I think once the trees and plants are mature then most of the concrete will be unnoticeable.

@lareverie8285 2 дня назад

It looks pretty depressing, they could had done a nicer design in my opinion, it feels souless
