Seattle's new protected waterfront bike lanes debut Saturday
SEATTLE – The Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects is set to celebrate the opening of new protected bike lanes along Waterfront Park on Saturday, March 8. The 1.2-mile-long bike path, which connects Pioneer Square and Belltown, is part of the city’s vision for a greener, more connected urban environment.
The celebration will take place at Pier 62, located at 1951 Alaskan Way, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, with no RSVP required.
New protected bike lanes debut along Seattle’s waterfront on March 8, 2025.
What’s next:
This summer, the bike lane will extend an additional 0.6 miles north with the completion of the Alaskan Way Safety Project. By summer 2026, further improvements will include a new three-quarters of a mile protected greenway trail on the east side of Alaskan Way, between Pier 62 and the Olympic Sculpture Park, as part of the Elliott Bay Connections project.
Representatives from Cascade Bicycle Club, Seattle Neighborhood Greenways, the Alaskan Way Safety Project, and the Elliott Bay Connections project will be present to provide information on biking safety and future waterfront bike connections.
New protected bike lanes debut along Seattle’s waterfront on March 8, 2025.
The new bike lane extends from S King St to Bell St on Alaskan and Elliott ways, and on Alaskan Way between Elliott Way and Virginia St, with varying features based on nearby conditions. South of the Aquarium and Overlook Walk, the bike lane transitions to two one-way protected lanes on both sides of Elliott Way.
Local perspective:
For those looking to enjoy Waterfront Park, over 30 new bike racks are available throughout the park. Cyclists can take a break to enjoy the views of Elliott Bay, explore permanent artworks, or visit local businesses.
The Seattle Center will manage operations, maintenance, and safety for the protected bike lane, ensuring it remains well cared for and safe. Wheeled devices such as bicycles, skateboards, roller skates, inline skates, and scooters are permitted in the bike lane, but not on the waterfront’s walking promenade, except for children’s strollers and mobility equipment for disabled individuals.
What’s next:
The Bell Street Improvements Project, currently under construction, will feature a two-way protected bike lane between Elliott and 1st avenues, expected to be completed by early summer.
The Alaskan Way Safety Project, which began in late 2024, aims to fill a gap in the bike lane network along the western side of Alaskan Way from Virginia St to Broad St, with completion anticipated this summer.
The Elliott Bay Connections project will create a new protected greenway trail on the east side of Alaskan Way, enhancing accessibility for people of all ages and abilities. Construction began in February and is expected to be completed by summer 2026.

CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more
The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.

SEATTLE – Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff home run, Jacob deGrom threw four shutout innings and Gavin Collyer earned his first career win as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 5-0 on Friday night.
Seattle lost its fourth straight game, and was shut out for the fourth time in 21 games, falling to 8-13. The Mariners were shut out six times during the 2025 season. Texas won its third straight game.
Nimmo led off the game with a 372-foot shot to right field off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (1-3). It was Nimmo’s 16th career leadoff homer and second of the season. He also hit a leadoff home run on April 11 in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
DeGrom effectively maneuvered through Seattle’s lineup, and worked out of a one out, bases-loaded jam in the first inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner recorded two of his three strikeouts after walking Josh Naylor to load the bases. Randy Arozarena fanned on a curveball, and Luke Raley swung through a fastball.
Texas added to its lead after Nimmo’s homer. Wyatt Langford’s single to left scored Corey Seager, who led off the third inning with a double. The Rangers stretched the lead to 3-0 on an RBI single from Jake Burger in the seventh.
The Mariners’ best scoring chance came in the sixth after Collyer (1-0), who worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings, left the game.
J.P. Crawford singled to left off Tyler Alexander with two out, and Mariners third base coach Carlos Cardoza sent Naylor from second base, but he was thrown out by Langford.
Texas added two more runs in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Andrew McCutchen and an RBI double by Josh Jung.
Seattle third baseman Brendan Donovan left the game early due to a left hip issue.
Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller, who started the year on the injured list with a left oblique injury, was at T-Mobile Park for the first time this season. He will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Up next
Mariners RHP George Kirby (2-2, 3.25) will face Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.40) on Saturday afternoon.
