Seattle Waterfront: Live View
WATERFRONT BRIEFS: September 2021
Close to 80% of King County residents over the age of 12 have been fully vaccinated against covid. In general, WA businesses are allowed to resume normal operations and also to require proof of vaccination or negative covid test.
The norm along the waterfront in August was people wearing masks in public. A new govt mask mandate is expected in September. If you are not yet vaccinated, then please avoid crowds until you have the chance to get yours.
You can start your day on the waterfront with a walk or run, hit Starbucks at 7 AM on Pier 55, spend all day exploring, shopping, and eating, and end your day high above the Puget Sound with the last ride on the Seattle Great Wheel at 10 PM (11 PM on Fridays and Saturdays).
Seattle Aquarium hours are 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM daily. Advance ticket purchase online is highly recommended in order to skip the line and walk right in at your reserved time.
At the start of September, the first light will be around 6. By the end of this month, mornings will begin around 6:40am. Sunset will go from 7:50pm to 6:50pm by the last day of September.
- Construction on Colman ferry dock (pier 52) continues with a completion target of 2023 for the new terminal.
- Seattle/Bainbridge route is still waiting for the 202-vehicle capacity Wenatchee ferry to return to service. The smaller 188-vehicle Walla Walla, 144-vehicle Kaleetan or 124-vehicle Issaquah are on the route instead.
- Expect road and ferry congestion during weekends, holidays, and peak hours. Some ferry trips may be canceled because of the convergence of covid, staff shortages, and maintenance requirements.
- The new Alaskan Way continues to unfold and shift traffic away from the water one section at a time. Please drive slowly in construction zones, thank you!
- Washington State Ferries celebrates 70 years!
- Boating operations between Piers 50-70 are OPEN.
- Salish Sea Tours at Pier 57 has started public operation of its brand new, locally manufactured harbor tour vessels, Orca One and Orca Two!
- Clipper Vacations is running whale-watching and San Juan Island fast-passenger trips from Pier 69.
- Argosy Cruises is running one-hour Harbor Cruises and Ballard Locks Tours from Pier 55 this month, as well as the Blake Island fast ferry (our top pick).
- Sailing Seattle is running two racing yachts for rides departing throughout the day from Pier 56 along the waterfront. Check out the Sunset Sail! Operations end mid-September.
- Alaska-bound cruise ships are departing and arriving from Pier 66 (and Pier 91) throughout the month.
- The doors for tourists between the US and Canada are opening slowly. The FRS Clipper is set to resume trips from Pier 69 in downtown Seattle directly to downtown Victoria (BC) this month.
Seattle professional sports teams playing in town this month:
- Mariners (baseball) – YES
- Sounders (soccer) – YES
- Seahawks (football) – YES
- Kraken (hockey) – YES (first time ever!)
- Supersonics (basketball) – No
- Storm (basketball) – YES – last day of regular season is this month.
- Public fishing piers are open in Area 10 (Seattle/Bremerton). Although there are no public fishing piers directly on Seattle’s waterfront, anglers can normally find a quiet place to cast a line.
- Look for fish in the kelp and around pier pilings.
- No fishing license is required for children and youth under 15 years old in Washington state.
- Species you are most likely to see: Salmon, schools of salmon smolt (babies), sea-run cutthroat, steelhead trout, shiner perch, piling perch.
- Know the rules; check current regulations here.
- Whales were sighted from Seattle in August. Whale sightings from the waterfront are possible in September too.
- Species you may spot: orcas (killer whales), gray whales, humpback whales, pacific white-sided dolphins, and pseudorcas (dolphin easily mistaken for orca).
- Other animals you may see while on the waterfront include: blue herons, seagulls, seals, sea lions, cormorants, sea otters, and kraken. For a close-up look at the Salish Sea ecosystem, head to the Seattle Aquarium.
- Increase your chances of spotting a whale by taking a Clipper Navigation whale watching boat – they actually guarantee to show you whales. Whales are also spotted occasionally on the ferries from Seattle; it can happen from any vessel.
- Check today’s whale sighting reports here.
There is one federal holiday this month, the first weekend of September is Labor Day weekend. School is back in session for most students in King County and WA State this month.
