Council committee reviews First Hill alley vacation tied to Ovation towers, public plaza and Town Hall improvements
Summary
The Transportation Committee reviewed a final approval package for an alley vacation in First Hill tied to the Ovation East/West apartment towers and a new publicly accessible plaza that expands Town Hall’s active frontage.
Seattle’s Transportation Committee on April 15 reviewed legislation to finalize an alley vacation in First Hill (Block 52, A.A. Denny’s extension) connected to the Ovation apartment project and associated public benefits, including a publicly accessible plaza and improvements that create a new frontage for Town Hall.
Lish Whitson of Council Central Staff introduced the item and said the city’s vacation process includes three committee appearances: early review, a public hearing with conditions and a final administrative check that those conditions were met. Whitson said the petitioners had paid the vacation fee in 2020 and that conditions tied to the 2017 approval have been satisfied.
