Pedestrian Pathway
Several sections have been completed of what will be a continuous Pedestrian Pathway through Yesler connecting Yesler residents and the surrounding neighborhoods. The pathway runs diagonally through the community between the Little Saigon neighborhood to the south and Harborview Medical Center to the north. It incorporates the Yesler Hillclimb, and passes near Yesler Terrace Park, the Yesler Community Center, streetcar stop, and Epstein Opportunity Center. It will connect with the Green Street Loop and several residential buildings will open onto the Pedestrian Pathway, making it easy for residents to move about the community and interact with each other.
The Pedestrian Pathway, together with the Yesler Hillclimb, is designed to allow wheelchair users and others with accessibility issues to easily navigate through the neighborhood.
