|34th Salmon Homecoming on the Waterfront|
Fall is in the air, so our attention turns to salmon along Seattle's waterfront. This celebration will take place on September 19 and span from Pier 62 to Pier 58. It will include a vendor marketplace, weaving workshop, food, cultural sharing, and traditional songs and dance. There will be a canoe landing at the Floating Dock at Pier 62, which is not to miss. Come for the salmon, stay for the view, return for the culture. Details at waterfrontparkseattle.org/blog/event/salmon-homecoming-2026/?shwa

|You’ve Probably Walked Past It|
There’s rather a lot of art on Seattle’s waterfront. Some of it is enormous. Some rings in the wind. Some is built into bridges and seawalls. And some you’ve probably walked straight past without noticing. Our new Seattle Waterfront Art Guide helps fix that, with an Art Finder featuring artworks, artists, photos, locations and directions, plus stories about the people and ideas behind them. Next time you’re on the waterfront, have a look around. Apparently, we’re an open-air gallery.
|What’s Flowering? Funny You Should Ask.|
Seattle’s waterfront has more than 124,000 plants, which makes keeping track of what’s showing off at any particular moment rather difficult. So we’ve made it easier. Our new Waterfront Gardens page highlights what’s flowering now, starting this September with fountain grass, Agapanthus and Agastache in glorious late-summer form. Come for the views. Stay because you’ve suddenly developed strong opinions about ornamental grasses.
|The Free Ride Is Over. Walk It Off.|
Today is the last day of the FREE Waterfront Shuttle for the season. It’ll be back next year, but will it still be free? Stay tuned. In the meantime, there’s another remarkably reliable way to get around the waterfront: your feet. They say walking is healthy, but walking by the water, past ferries, piers, parks and the occasional ambitious seagull is positively rejuvenating in every weather. Our newly revamped walking-times chart shows just how far they can take you.
|Last Chance for Pikmin!|
Only a few weeks remain to catch Pikmin X Seattle Aquarium, which ends on September 7! Search for colorful Pikmin at Piers 59 and 60 and the Ocean Pavilion, then explore the waterfront with the free Pikmin Bloom MINI WALK. Don’t miss this playful summer adventure before it disappears!
