MITHŪN

Overview

Mithun designed three anchor parks within the High Point Master Plan open space network. The parks provide stormwater maintenance, view corridors, and diverse experiences within a connected, vibrant public realm. Each serves a vital function for the community, bringing neighbors together and creating a destination for the greater Seattle area. Bataan Park links directly to Longfellow Creek – one of the city’s last salmon-bearing creeks – with a design that interprets the elements of a healthy watershed. North Park, organized by braided threads of walkways and swales, frames an iconic view of downtown Seattle. Stormwater Park provides a 1/4-mile walking trail, unstructured play area, and broad vistas. The parks and streets attract people from throughout West Seattle for their daily walks and exercise.
