Iconic intersection at Pike Place Market gets makeover

On Thursday, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell unveiled what he said is the next step in his Downtown Activation Plan.

The area at the intersection of First Avenue and Pike Street -- one of the most visited parts of the city -- underwent a makeover to attract more people to the pedestrian-only public space near the iconic Pike Place Market.

“We are on Seattle’s journey to becoming that mecca, like that place where people want to come visit.” Jules Sauer told KOMO News.

Sauer is one of 165 ambassadors who work for The Downtown Seattle Association (DS) / Metropolitan Improvement District (MID).

“The MID is not just about making the city clean but we want to make people feel welcome. We want to make sure that people feel safe,” Sauer said.
