Pier 69 Food Truck Activation Pilot Program
There are a lot of exciting things happening along Seattle's waterfront! The Elliott Bay Connections project will soon be completed, cruise season is here, and not to mention the many 2026 World Cup activations.
In support of these efforts, the Port of Seattle will launch a temporary "Pier 69 Food Truck Activation Pilot Program" to join the fun to activate our corner of the waterfront. The Port of Seattle's Headquarters is located at Pier 69 (2711 Alaskan Way Seattle, WA 98121).
What is the Food Truck Pilot Program at Pier 69?
The Port of Seattle is applying for permits to transform two-paid parking spots across the street from the Port of Seattle's Pier 69 Headquarters to allow for food truck parking from the end of May 2026 until January 2027.
As part of this, we are seeking interested food truck vendors to participate in this pilot program.
What are the requirements for participating in the Pier 69 Food Truck Pilot Program?
- Food Truck business owners must have an active City of Seattle Business License and King County Public Health Mobile Food Service Business Permit
- Food truck vendors must be able to commit to vending from the hours of 10AM-2PM, Monday through Friday, for 30 consecutive business days to be considered. (No alcohol sales are allowed).
- Food truck may not be longer than 22 feet. (22 feet is the maximum length).
The Port of Seattle strongly encourages applications from small, local, and historically underrepresented businesses, including women-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and LGBTQ+-owned enterprises. Businesses located within King County and have been in operation for less than 5 years will be given priority.
What is the application process to apply?
Food truck vendors simply complete the food truck vending application here.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis from now until May 31, 2026. The first round of applications will be reviewed as early as May 12, 2026.
