As part of the West Seattle YMCA’s upcoming Expansion and Renovation project, the Y is coordinating the process for the proposed Triangle Festival Street designation on SW Snoqualmie between 36th & 37th Ave SW.
The idea for a community festival street came out of the city’s 2009 – 2011 Triangle Planning Committee. The Y Board decided to incorporate the concept in our expansion planning by shifting the Y’s entrance to SW Snoqualmie and incorporating some key improvements in the right of way, access and utilities.

The Festival Street designation allows closure for community events throughout the year (most will be in summer, on weekends or evenings). All adjacent landowners have given their support to the proposal.
Most of the time, this will be a regular street with cars driving, bikes, parking, and pedestrians on sidewalks. When active, the Triangle Festival Street could host outdoor concerts, dances, games, festivals and other community events.

A public presentation with opportunity for questions and public comment will be held at the Southwest District Council meeting on March 2nd, 6:30pm at the Senior Center located at 4217 SW Oregon St, Seattle. As part of the designation process, the SWDC could vote on the proposal two weeks after the presentation, which then would go to the SDOT director.

You can review more detailed information and submit online comments at OurNewY.org until March 18th.
