Fun Facts

Before becoming a bustling urban park, the site of Westlake Park was originally a cemetery, which was relocated in the late 19th century to make way for development.

The park features several public art installations, including the iconic 'Seattle Story' mural, which celebrates the city's diverse history and culture.

From summer concerts to winter holiday markets, Westlake Park is a central venue for community events and festivals in Seattle.

The park is designed to be a car-free area, encouraging foot traffic and providing a safe space for pedestrians to enjoy the surroundings.

The park plays a key role in the city's efforts to create vibrant public spaces that foster community interaction and economic activity.
