Temporary parks are popping up all around Seattle (.pdf map here). Today is a global event called “PARK(ing)” day, sponsored locally by Feet First, and is an event where parks “grow” out of parking spots. SDOT has a temporary park just in front of the library on 22nd Ave NW from 9 a.m. to 3p.m. “People can stop by and make small reusable bags with pedestrian safety messages, learn more about our Pedestrian Master Plan, draw with sidewalk/street chalk and relax for a bit,” Dawn Schellenberg with SDOT says.
