dzidzəlalič


dzidzəlalič, which means Little Crossing Over Place in the Lushootseed language, was created working with the Friends of Waterfront Seattle's Community Advisory Committees and staff. The film is named after one of the Coast Salish villages that was located in what is now Downtown Seattle. Committee members were able to bring their knowledge of the history of Seattle and how their communities and those histories connect to the Waterfront. In particular, the history of Seattle’s Chinatown/International District and the continued presence of Indigenous peoples in Seattle. The process created a film that pays homage to the city's deep relationship with water, mountains, and culture and reflects the importance of recognizing history in imagining a sustainable future.

About Waterfront Park


In deep collaboration with individuals, communities, and institutional partners, Friends of Waterfront Park’s mission is creating, caring for, and activating a renewed place of connection on Seattle’s central shoreline. As the non-profit partner, Friends is continuing to raise $170M to support programming, construction, public safety and maintenance at Waterfront Park.

The City of Seattle began construction of the park after the Viaduct’s removal in 2019. The first pieces of the park — Pier 62 and Pioneer Square Habitat Beach — are now open for the public to enjoy.
