This is the first of three Beer & Culture events on lidding I-5 to be held in Jan. & Feb. 2025. These events are sponsored by Lid I-5 in partnership with Allied Arts of Seattle and Seattle Parks Foundation.

 Background:

Lid I-5 is a volunteer group seeking to cover I-5 in Seattle from Thomas Street to Main Street, reconnecting people with streets, parks, and buildings. The project was recently awarded a $2.2 million planning grant and your input is needed as we begin to work out how to best utilize this funding.

For more background, review the narrative of the grant application here and the Technical Feasibility Report (completed in 2020 by Seattle Office of Planning and Community Development) here.
