Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Freeway Park and join a civic discussion on the evolution of this nationally significant urban design project. A moderated panel discussion with expert speakers will bring the audience along a journey of past, present, and future. We’ll think about growth and reconnection of the Downtown and First Hill neighborhoods over the past half-century, the successes and challenges stewarding this urban park through the Freeway Park Association, an update on the current capital improvements project, the implications of being a designated landmark, and how the park is inspiring the future Lid I-5 project that seeks to expand public land over the freeway below.

Doors open at 5:00 pm for a social hour, and the program begins at 6:00 pm. The moderated panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session, and doors close at 8:00 pm.

There will be a no-host cash bar for drinks, and light food available for free. The panel discussion will be video recorded and made available online after the event.

This event is volunteer-powered and paid for by the generosity of donors. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation when you register.
