Morgan Junction Park Addition

Determination of Non-Significance (DNS)

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is proposing to expand the existing Morgan Junction Park in Seattle. The park will be expanded by bridging the site across the Eddy Street right-of-way to develop the landbanked parcel to the south and incorporating it into the existing park. The project includes two phases: soil remediation/grading and park development. SPR has determined that it does not have probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with SPR. This information is available to the public on request.

This DNS is issued under 197-11-340(2); SPR will not act on this proposal for 14 days from date of publication (2/22/2021).
Comments must be submitted by Monday, March 8, 2021. The appeal period ends March 15, 2021.

2020 - Project Suspended

Thank you to everyone who participated in the public process.  Your input was used to develop three concept designs. View the three concept options here. Options 2 (38%) and 3 (50%) received the stronger community preferences.

A second online survey was also posted July 8 - September 3, 2019, to gather more input, especially from people who were unable to attend the festival. The survey results are here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-D2XMKGCY7/

The design team worked to refine the expressed community preferences into a preliminary preferred schematic design for the park expansion.

Also, soil and groundwater sampling and analysis occurred in late 2019. This helped us see what remediation will need to be done as part of park expansion. We also worked with City departments to determine what alley improvements will need to be made as part of park expansion.

We greatly appreciate our collaboration with the Morgan Junction Community Association on outreach and engagement for this project.
