More about the Promenade Pop-ups:

Promenade Pop-Ups at Waterfront Park is a partnership between Friends of Waterfront Park, Seattle Restored, and El Centro de la Raza. This summer marks the first year of the Vendor Pilot Program, bringing eight locally owned, small businesses to showcase their product lines in semi-permanent pop-up kiosks along the Waterfront Park promenade at the Seneca and Spring Street intersections. The program highlights the vibrant business community already on the waterfront, activates new areas of Waterfront Park, and supports local businesses.

The beautiful artworks adorning some of the kiosks were done by two inspiring Indigenous artists: Sarah Folden (Cowlitz Tribal member) and Bill Pfeifer Jr. (Tlingit Tribal Member).
