The winner of the West Seattle Bridge reopening events design contest is Susie Perry whose depiction of a city skyline, bridge, and the theme Reunited won out over 29 other entries. 

The actual events of course remain under discussion and in planning since no firm date for the reopening has been announced by SDOT who have consistently said, "Mid-year" though that may not be a strict definition. Technically the 183rd day of the year is July 2 but that date is highly unlikely. 

The plans still being discussed include a participant funded Run/Walk coupled with a free stroll on the bridge for people who want to see the view from something other than at 45mph or in a traffic jam, a music stage with both local and well known musicians, a food booth or food truck component, a beer garden, and a custom glass float scavenger hunt promotion, lasting over three months, with the floats made by Avalon Glassworks. Also either in development or being considered are a central information website about the events, bridge history, and more, and a West Seattle Best Seattle feature video.

More firm decisions on all these ideas await a timeline announcement from SDOT promised on June 9.

No tax dollars would be spent on any of the proposed events, they would all be funded by sponsors.
