The elevator and stairs, the latter of which has become a popular amenity since they opened with the bridge last February, feature views of Puget Sound and the Olympics to the north plus views of the Tacoma Dome and Thea Foss Waterway to the south. The connections let downtown residents, visitors and workers on their lunch hour access the waterfront within just a few minutes.
“It’s long overdue and we thank everyone for their patience,” said Project Manager Tom Rutherford. “It took us much longer to obtain the needed permits than expected, yet we hope everyone will now take advantage of the spring weather to get outside and put it to good use.”
