Seattle Waterfront: Live View
WATERFRONT BRIEFS: August 2020
70% 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. The norm along the waterfront in July was people wearing masks in public. If you are not yet vaccinated, then please avoid crowds until you have the chance to get yours. Lyft and Uber are offering free rides to and from vaccination centers. Many pharmacies in the area offer the vaccine without an appointment and there is no charge.
- Construction on Colman ferry dock (pier 52) continues with a completion target of 2023 for the new terminal. South Dearborn Street Near Colman Dock will be closed Aug 2 to 25 – expect detours.
- Seattle/Bainbridge route is still waiting for the 202-vehicle capacity Wenatchee ferry to return to service. Expect smaller 188-vehicle Walla Walla, 144-vehicle Kaleetan or 124-vehicle Issaquah on the route instead.
- Masks are required in all indoor areas of Washington State Ferries vessels and buildings. Summer sailing schedule is in effect this month.
- Expect road and ferry congestion during weekends, holidays, and peak hours. Some ferry trips may be cancelled because of the convergence of covid, staff shortages, and maintenance requirements. If in doubt, then plan ahead, arrive early.
- 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!
- Alaska-bound cruise ships are departing and arriving from Pier 66 (and Pier 91) throughout the month.
- After a lengthy border closure due to the pandemic, tourism between the US and Canada is expected to resume this month.
Seattle professional sports teams playing in town this month:
- Mariners (baseball) – YES
- Sounders (soccer) – YES
- Seahawks (football) – YES
- Kraken (hockey) – No
- Supersonics (basketball) – No
- Storm (basketball) – YES – currently first in the league!
- 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 dramatic daytime low tides this month with swings of over 13 feet between low and high tides on certain days.
- 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 July. Whale sightings from the waterfront are possible in August 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 are no national or Washington State official holidays in August.
- School summer vacation is underway for most students in King County this month.

I am always looking for reflections and it was good to see the Great Wheel spinning again.
Did you know Pier 62 has a floating deck? This was shot from there and I really had to stay still and adjust with the waves because it’s not easy shooting on a moving surface 😅🏄🏻📸
