SODO
There’s a lot going on in SODO. Roadway, transit, and on-street parking changes are coming in Spring 2018. These include:
- Roadway: Closing of Lander Street between 1st Ave S and 3rd Ave S for around two years during Lander Street Bridge Construction. A pedestrian path will be provided through the area during construction.
- Transit: New frequent transit stops are coming to 1st Ave S between S Lander St and Edgar Martinez Dr, connecting this area of SODO to West Seattle, downtown Seattle / King Street Station, and beyond. King County Metro is also active in the area through Community Connections Project.
- Parking: New areas of time limits and load zones will be added on and near 1st Ave S to improve short term customer and visitor access.
For more information see our neighborhood mailer.
What’s happening now?
SDOT completed an on-street parking and duration study in SODO in spring 2017. We found that:
- On-street parking areas without time limits were generally full from early morning until the afternoon
- Existing time limits in the area are effective at creating short term parking availability
