Terminal 91 Trail Improvements

The Port of Seattle's Terminal 91 Trail is part of the Elliott Bay Trail, the main waterfront trail route along the Puget Sound. Open to those walking, rolling, or jogging, the trail provides a scenic commute helping to avoid busy intersections and city streets between Interbay and Downtown. It runs safely around some of Seattle’s most productive maritime industrial facilities, including the Port’s Terminal 91 which serves as homeport to the Alaska Fishing Fleet and the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal. Trail users also encounter the towering grain elevators at the Port’s Pier 86.

Project Overview

This project improved the Port’s segment of the trail by removing the old bike bridge, widening the narrow areas, and providing new paving. The project area included 900 feet of trail. Construction began September 2, 2025, and was completed October 2, 2025. 

These improvements:

1. Improve Public Safety – Upgrading the trail segments allows for two-way traffic and reduces the risk of collisions and congestion.
2. Improve Accessibility – This project helped address accessibility challenges at the pedestrian/bicycle bridge and the rail crossing.
