What's New with Seattle Neighborhood Greenways

Our Biggest Victory Yet!


We formed a coalition of walking & biking, affordable housing, and parks groups and won an incredible $82 million in funding for community benefits, including $27 million for protected bike lanes on Pike, Pine and 8th Ave, and improved sidewalks and crossings for Olive, Pike, and Pine. Read more 

Around the City

Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is a grassroots coalition of 16 active neighborhood groups that plan and advocate for safe, equitable, and comfortable streets for all. Progress is happening across the city thanks to people like you. Click here to get connected with an SNG group in your neighborhood.

Uniting Georgetown and South Park with a Trail

For nearly 20 years, the residents of Georgetown and South Park have wanted to be able to walk and bike between their neighborhoods, and with the astounding organizing success of SNG coalition member Duwamish Valley Safe Streets, it's finally becoming a reality. Read more 

Neighbors Celebrate New Safe Routes to 3 Schools


Years of hard work by SNG volunteers and staff culminated in a joyous celebration this August, when neighborhood schoolchildren, parents, and coalition partners cut the ribbon on three new safe-routes improvements for a 3 school complex in North Seattle. Read more 

Walking to Transit on Capitol Hill


People who live on Capitol Hill love to walk and they love to take transit. Thanks to the hard work of Central Seattle Greenways in winning improvements for E John St & E Thomas St, it’s soon going to be easier to do both. Read more 

Saving a South Seattle Bike Lane & Building Connections

Why did the struggle for one east-west bike lane bring together advocates from West Seattle, Georgetown, Beacon Hill, and the Rainier Valley? Read more 

Planning for Walking and Biking to U-District Light Rail


After a year of organizing and hard work, University Greenways and the U District Mobility coalition won funding and buy-in from government agencies to design better walking and biking solutions for the University District light rail station. Read more 

Building the Downtown #BasicBikeNetwork

We all know Seattle is growing dramatically -- especially downtown. Can our walking and biking networks keep up with the resulting transportation demands? Bike lanes on Pike/Pine, 2nd, and 9th and improved crosswalks across Denny and Aurora are a start. Read more 

We depend on financial support from people like you to help power this movement. Help us reach a $1,000 match!

A Final Thought

On November 19th we organized Seattle's recognition of World Day of Remembrance for road traffic victims. Since the same time last year, 19 people died in collisions on the streets of Seattle. Our volunteers installed white silhouettes at these nineteen locations.

During the World Day of Remembrance we remember the precious lives our communities have lost, recommit ourselves to the importance of Vision Zero, and remind ourselves of the urgency of this work. We can, and we must get to zero.

Thank you for all that you do to make our streets safe, accessible, and enjoyable for all.
