Support
Waterfront Park depends on people like you to animate and sustain it as a vibrant cultural hub.
Friends of Waterfront Seattle is the nonprofit partner to the City of Seattle responsible for helping to fund, build, steward, and program Waterfront Park today and in perpetuity. While the City will fund basic maintenance, Friends and the City will jointly manage the programming and operations of Waterfront Park. Support for Friends goes directly toward making the community’s vision for Waterfront Park possible, ensuring it is alive with culture, beauty, and fun, and a place where people feel welcome and safe for years to come.
Today, parks and open spaces are more important than ever to the health and well-being of our community. Donations, grants, and sponsorships raised by Friends will amplify the significant public funding to help realize the full potential of our City’s greatest asset.
