n 1996, the city of Seattle adopted a resolution to preserve shoreline street ends (sometimes referred to as SSEs) throughout the city as public rights-of-way, to allow improvements for public uses and access.This resolution gave a broad outline of considerations that would apply to public access improvements to shoreline street ends and to removing private encroachments and severely limiting future permits for private uses of street ends.
This Willow street end park is a lovely part of this program,
Great views and beautiful place to sit on a bench or collect rocks.
