McGraw Square Activation by Erica Bush
McGraw Square is the terminus site of the Monorail, the South Lake Union Trolly as well as an entrance point to the Westlake Light Rail Station which makes it a critical transportation hub in Seattle. At present the site is barren and under-utilized even though it's one of the only public spaces in the neighborhood. I have been creating images such as those included here as well as budget guidelines to communicate how this space could be improved upon and create a true green oasis within the densest part of Seattle. These images will be presented to non-profits, city agencies and private interests surrounding the site to build buy in and greater understanding of the space so that such improvements can move forward.
