Cowen Park Bridge, Art Deco arch bridge in Ravenna district, Seattle, United States

Cowen Park Bridge is a 358-foot reinforced concrete arch carrying 15th Avenue NE across a ravine in Cowen Park, Seattle. It runs from NE 62nd Street to Cowen Place NE, linking the Roosevelt/Ravenna area with the University District. Its sides feature 12-foot Art Deco light standards.

Built in 1936 under the Works Progress Administration, the bridge was engineered by Clark Eldridge. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated city landmark. It is the only bridge over the Ravenna Park ravine open to vehicles; the other, the 20th Avenue NE Bridge, dates from 1913.

The bridge connects two neighborhoods that were previously separated, allowing people to explore and settle in new areas. Today it remains a familiar landmark for residents and visitors moving between the parks on either side.

The bridge is accessible to both cars and pedestrians, with wide walkways on both sides. It is best explored on foot to appreciate the architectural details and the views into the ravine.

The bridge is one of two that cross the Ravenna Park ravine; the other, the 20th Avenue NE Bridge, dates from 1913, but only the Cowen Park Bridge carries vehicles. Its 12-foot Art Deco light standards along the sides have drawn praise.
