Mithun collaborated with Hargreaves Associates on the design of South Lake Union Park. The existing Northwest Seaport and Center for Wooden Boats will be enlarged and reconfigured as a Maritime Heritage Center. Changing uses of the former Naval Reserve Armory and adjacent spaces may include moorage for large historic vessels and a Native American Canoe Center. The park is one of the main elements in the Blue Ring Strategy, the open space planning strategy for Seattle’s center city.
