Lake Washington Boulevard Renovations

Fall 2024

Please join us for a project update meeting on December 12 from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Mount Baker Rowing and Sailing Center, 3800 Lake Washington Blvd S. The meeting will start with a presentation from City departments, followed by small group discussions with reportouts from each group.

Online Meeting Registration

Thank you to all who shared their feedback on our design concepts. Throughout the spring and summer, we conducted our latest round of community engagement online and in person to receive input from community members who live, visit, and travel on Lake Washington Boulevard. This summer, we reviewed and summarized your input from the Lake WA Blvd Design Concepts Survey, community/neighborhood meetings, and other outreach we conducted in the spring. You can learn more in the Outreach Summary for the Lake Washington Boulevard Renovations Project. 

Next Steps

Thanks to the matching funds awarded by the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)’s Complete Streets Grant, we will be installing the first phase of improvements as soon as this Fall 2024 (see anticipated construction schedule below). Additional project elements are anticipated to be installed in the summer of 2025.
