Waterfront Park, Urban park in Central Waterfront, Seattle, United States

The park extends between Pier 57 and Pier 59, featuring viewing platforms, benches, picnic tables, coin-operated telescopes, and several planters with trees.

The freighter Miike Maru docked at this location in 1896, establishing Seattle's first trade connection with Japan, followed by the gold-laden steamship Portland from Alaska.

The park contains the Waterfront Fountain, a cast and welded bronze artwork created by James FitzGerald and completed after his death by his widow.

Following structural concerns and partial collapse in 2020, the park underwent complete removal, with plans for a new triangular design scheduled for completion in 2025.

The future park design will include an 18-foot jellyfish structure and a Coast Salish sculpture entitled Family by Qwalsius-Shaun Peterson along the promenade.
