New off-leash dog park, community space coming to Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood
An unused flume property in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood will be transformed into an off-leash dog park and community space, with the expectation to open to the public in 2023.
The announcement, made Wednesday by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), said the Seattle City Council Transportation & Utilities Committee voted to approve the transfer of land of the currently unused flume site in Georgetown to Seattle Parks & Recreation and SDOT.
The eastern portion of the property will be owned and operated by the parks department as an off-leash area. Decided upon after neighbors expressed strong interest, construction will begin on the dog park in spring 2022 and is expected to be complete in winter 2022-2023.
The western portion of the flume property will be transferred to SDOT, who will create a walking and biking path on the north side of E Marginal Way as part of the Georgetown to South Park Connection project. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2022 and open to the public in 2023.
