The Seattle Waterfront has been a major driver for a boom in visits to Seattle this summer. Over 3.7 million people visited downtown Seattle in the past month with majority of trips and visits to the Seattle waterfront as well as light rail ridership.
There has been an increase in local visits to the waterfront with a total of about 351,000 visits by the locals who live in 10 miles radius, all in July. The increase in foot traffic has greatly impacted the restaurants and businesses at Miners Landings on the Waterfront.
