Friday is Park(ing) Day around the world, including, of course, Seattle! The biggest pop-up park to visit will be in Pioneer Square. And of course, bikes are at the center of the urban reimagination fun.
Also did you know three of the top eight bike polo teams in the world are from Seattle? It’s true, and you can watch some of them play at the Summer Lawn Party.
Details from the Alley Network Project:
Join us for one last Seattle summer celebration in Pioneer Square as we turn Occidental Park, Nord Alley and parking spots on Main Street into a summer lawn party! There will be live music, art, bicycle polo, a photo booth, BBQ, bocce ball, transportation tarot reading, lawn bowling and Adirondack chairs where you can lounge and read books from our pop-up library and more:
