Thank you Seattle for making this acquisition possible.
The Pro Parks Levy's $10 million Green Spaces category funds acquisitions to preserve Seattle’s green spaces. The Oversight Committee has included the Duwamish Head Greenbelt among 13 of the City’s adopted Green Spaces.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
|
This greenbelt is one of the most visible green spaces in Seattle. It includes the forested hillsides that extend around Alki Point. If you are in downtown Seattle and look west across Elliott Bay to West Seattle, the forested slopes that you see are the Duwamish Head Greenbelt. It is provides habitat for diverse wildlife, and includes an eagles' nest. Seattle Parks and Recreation preserved more than 55 acres in this greenbelt in the 1990s. In addition to the areas mentioned below under "community involvement," a 6.5 acre site was purchased at SW Admiral Way and 34th Ave SW in the 1990s, as well as an 8 acre area accessible to pedestrians from Bonair Dr SW.
