West Seattle development: Youngstown Flats art, parklet, website

About 5 months into construction, we have a few updates from the developers of Youngstown Flats – the almost-200-unit building going up at 26th/Dakota in North Delridge, the biggest project under construction in West Seattle right now. For one, their design for turning the “right of way” across 26th (newest version here) into a parklet of sorts won Seattle Design Commission approval, required because they need a Street Use Permit from the city. For two, the sculpture above has been chosen for installation along 26th near the building’s main-lobby entrance (it’s “Continuity” by Jan Hoy), and another RFP for more art is going out. Last but not least, if you’re interested in more info before they open in a year or so, the project finally has an official website.

    I attended the design commission review of the landscaping and I was really happy with what the developers and landscape architect are proposing for the area. They are tying in to the “dragon fly” park on the west side of the development and adding a small park on the south side of their development.

    Is there a plan for the staircase and usually muddy path between the new park and dragonfly? Hopefully they will fix that up too.

Sorry, comment time is over.
