Downtown Seattle Arts District Revisited
Seattle’s booming real estate market and thriving arts scene have helped the city rise from an industrial centre to one of the world’s hottest tourism destinations. Now, developers and the arts are making it happen again.
The Downtown Seattle arts district is thriving once again. The growing collection of arts is inspiring a rebirth of downtown Seattle not just in the arts but in all facets of the city’s culture, which has a strong, distinctive signature. The growth of the arts in Seattle since 2000 has been dramatic: downtown Seattle is home to more than 10,000 cultural venues, including a new museum, performing arts centers, performing arts spaces, and theaters. Many of Seattle’s more than 100,000 galleries and artists’ studios now offer a new, and often more creative, experience. The arts are also helping to revitalize the city as a whole. While the economic downturn slowed economic growth in Seattle’s downtown core, it has boosted the success of the arts in the surrounding suburbs and cities. In the past four years alone, the arts district has seen growth of more than 200 percent in the number of works by local artists, including artists from the University of Washington, the Pacific School of Dance, the UW School of Architecture, and the Seattle Art Museum.
The growing Arts District has also had a major impact on the economic climate, as artists and small but successful businesses have begun to invest in building a stronger, local economy. With downtown Seattle’s population at 784,750 (up from 603,000 two years ago), the arts district has helped create a new economic zone around the city, and a thriving arts center that is attracting tourism dollars, new business, and new residents.
“We’re seeing an influx of talent and a new spirit of creativity, and people are doing things that they want in their city,” says Kevin McCarty, the head of Seattle’s arts district, who says the economic impact will continue to grow as Seattle’s population grows. “It’s only been two years, but I can’t help but tell you that an arts district is already creating jobs and boosting the economy for all of us.
The growth of the arts district has also spurred a new interest in the city’s history.
Downtown Seattle reopens after the COVID-19 pandemic.
On April 7, 2020, the City of Seattle lifted restrictions on the movement of employees and customers in the downtown core.
The closure of public works facilities and certain businesses in the downtown area is not surprising, but the impact of the restrictions on the city’s economy appears to have been significant.
For example, at the end of March, the city said it expected to save $4. 5 million by not providing shelter for the homeless. Meanwhile, the Seattle City Council said it will pay $3. 3 million for two coronavirus-related hotels.
That last item, the City of Seattle said it will use its revenue to provide beds in a shelter for vulnerable patients with severe cases. The council later said it would use those funds to pay for a hotel for those with mild cases. A spokesperson for the city’s Department of Finance said the hotels will have occupancy agreements with Seattle Center.
Meanwhile, at the same time, the city’s $150 million Capital Improvement Program will go to the repair of the Center City District, but that money went to fund temporary repairs. The city also paid $12 million in emergency funds to the city’s general fund.
The biggest winners from the COVID-19 pandemic — including the City of Seattle, Washington State and U. Department of Housing and Urban Development — seem to be the housing market and the hotel industry.
But, the City of Seattle is taking a different approach. Instead of spending on building permanent hotels around the country, the city is working with a private developer to build smaller, temporary hotels in Seattle.
The project seems to have come close to being complete.
The $150 million program, which the City Council said it would use its revenue to pay for, will go to the repair of the Center City District, but that money went to fund temporary repairs. The city also paid $12 million in emergency funds to the city’s general fund.
Welcome back weeks in Downtown Seattle.

The new year is here. I was born in the year of our Lord 2013 and am a part of the Seattle Area. I have decided to start a series of blogs with my thoughts and experiences over the past year and I have decided to keep it up.
I started this blog about 1 year ago as my main blog and over the last year I added a few, now to my main site that also functions as a blog I am just doing my own thing and hopefully it meets your needs.
I am still a full time blogger over at the one called “About Me” and I can’t believe I still have that many followers.
I will be back with a couple more blogs in the new year with more to come.
A couple of weeks ago I posted this on my facebook wall that sparked a wonderful exchange of emails and calls to me by fellow bloggers.
I am doing the same thing, with the exception that this is my own experience. While others may not have had this same exchange, I did, and I wanted to share my experience.
I was talking with a friend of mine about getting her new car after her purchase of a used car. This friend of mine is very tech-savvy and was well aware of the ins and outs of getting a car and she had a couple questions on the topic.
One was that she had some questions about getting a car with a new owner.
This is my friend’s situation and I am not sure if I know this.
Another thing that this friend was asking about was her insurance for the car. Her question was whether or not the car dealer should be buying the insurance for her or if she should go out and purchase the insurance herself.
Friend1: “I have a new car and I don’t know much about it. I’ve heard that it’s not recommended to get insurance through the dealership because it doesn’t have to be covered with them.
Friend2: “That would be right.
