What We’ve Done

Click on the icon above to see what projects we’ve worked on.

NE Seattle Greenways is a group of neighbors like you who are working to make their streets safer and more comfortable for everybody.
We work on projects in Roosevelt, Ravenna, Bryant, Laurelhurst, Windermere, Wedgwood, View Ridge, and Sand Point.

Our current priority is on safe I-5 Crossings. The interstate 5 divides the neighborhoods of District 4 and prevents people from walking and biking east to west. Northeast Seattle Greenways wants to solve this by creating safer sidewalks, bike lanes, and curb ramps on key crossings and explore the creation of a new crossing or lid. However, we can use your help to achieve this!
