[UPDATE: Just kidding. Apparently a group related to this project “has requested time to provide feedback on the website.” Which originally looked like this:

So stay tuned for when the mitigation is over, and you can enjoy learning more about the history.]

As part of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement Program, WSDOT has developed a website – http://www.ViaductHistory.org – as a tribute to the history of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and its adjacent neighborhoods. The website includes information about Seattle’s history, how the viaduct was built, program archaeology efforts, local historic buildings, activities for kids, and stunning architectural and historic photos.

This website was developed in partial fulfillment of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between WSDOT, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation that was implemented in 2009. The MOA resolves the adverse effect of the S. Holgate to S. King Street Viaduct Replacement Project to historic properties and fulfills FHWA and WSDOT compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
