Parks
Several Port of Seattle parks have been featured in The Seattle Times as great places to enjoy the outdoors while watching ship movements and other maritime related activities.
Organic Parks?
Our Marine Maintenance Department uses 100% organic landscaping techniques and plants only native non-invasive species and drought tolerant trees and shrubs. All grass clippings and trimmed branches are composted or mulched for future use. This helps to conserve water and reduce run-off. Several parks have received environmental awards for recycling, water conservation and hazardous waste reduction.
Public Access
Tucked among the seaport's terminals are public facilities such as fishing piers, bike paths, an exercise course, wildlife habitat preservation, a boat launch and numerous benches and paths along the shoreline.
