The University District Art Walk happens every 3rd Friday on University Way (a.k.a. The Ave). The U District is a unique Seattle community with a solid grounding in art culture, and features new and exciting work every month!
***PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT***
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray recently revealed a plan to 'upzone' the University District, which includes raising building heights up to 320 feet. Currently, zoning only allows buildings up to 85 feet, and while the plan has potential to create more affordable housing, it could have negative impacts on many local businesses. Click HERE for more info.
Gayle Nowicki, long-time owner of Gargoyles Statuary, welcomes the upzoning, with conditions: "We want to see how we can make provisions for small businesses while all these upzones happen," she said. "We hope rents can remain affordable for small businesses."
Please write to Seattle City Council and urge them to ensure that small businesses survive these imminent changes:
