Vital Green Space
This park comes at an opportune time when West Seattle Junction is growing rapidly. New developments are planned or under construction across the street on two sides of the park and will greatly increase the need for this vital green space. Among the future neighbors are QFC, Whole Foods and several housing developments with approximately 1,000 new residents who will soon set down roots within walking distance of Junction Plaza Park.
According to the 2001 Gap Analysis report by Seattle Parks and Recreation, the West Seattle Junction village has significant deficiencies in usable open space. In addition to the businesses and new residents moving into The Junction, the Alaska House, a nine-story residential facility for low-income seniors directly adjacent to the park on its north side, will greatly benefit from this new community space.
