Third Avenue in Seattle is slowly getting a facelift.
The newest addition is overhead lights that were strung across 3rd from Virginia to Stewart streets., which aims to make downtown safer and more welcoming for tenants, businesses, employees, residents, and visitors., The Seattle Department of Transportation wrote, “We expect this new lighting could spark more interest from building owners and tenants who may wish to pursue similar lighting and enhancements along 3rd Ave.
Villanueva helps manage properties, and she is one of the community leaders working with the city to turn things around. There’s also what looks to be a new apartment being constructed at 3rd and Virginia. Perhaps the biggest impact is the cleanup and reopening of the existing vacant and derelict buildings along the block. The Bed Bath and Beyond Building is going to have a new life next year.
The other success story has been the formerly derelict Bergman Luggage building. Last September, KOMO News spoke with artist Nick Ferderer in front of the building. Ferderer had a vision to fix the space and bring it back to life.Seattle artist has ambitious plans for an abandoned building in a troubled stretch of downtown
