Exploring Seattle's New Overlook Walk On The Waterfront - Is It Worth A Visit?

[@syp7904]

I love this 'walk and talk' video concept. Nice to see a perspective from a real person. Hope you make more videos like this.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

I will. Lots more coming

[@desh91896]

Great comprehensive look at the area. 10x better than the local news showed. Appreciate the informative commentary.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Thanks. You get what I'm going for 😁

[@chadroberts3527]

Great video, thank you for this. Your English is fantastic!

[@allenu]

I was randomly walking in the area around the same time and so was lucky to check it out right after it opened as well. Very happy with the results and I totally agree with you that Seattle really needed a nice gathering area in downtown. This is the perfect location for it, too, with the views and the access to the market and the waterfront walk. Great video! Glad to hear a local give their take on the new walkway.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Thanks for watching and the comment. I have a lot more local videos coming

[@Chrisicola]

Looks great. More importantly, the seawall has been updated/fixed. This has been a lengthy, expensive, and arduous process. Awesome that Melinda and Mckenzie chipped in to support the local community.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

That did take a lot of time

[@Hannastables]

Hooray! Love to see improvements in Seattle. I’m especially loving the new play areas for kids. That octopus playground looks like it will be awesome 🎉

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Can't wait to let the kids climb that one

[@ayamaikarim]

Just watched your video, heading to Pike Market in few hours from Portland. Seattle is my favorite city & California is my favorite state. Thank you for a great video.

[@pufferfish-gw1pz]

This looks great! As you said, it's a welcome addition to downtown Seattle. I can't wait to see it for myself.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

It will be a local favorite

[@pad9x]

im so glad they did this. how i think and feel about Seattle has changed forever. and i mean that in a good way : )

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

It's true! Hopefully we see more walk ability improvements

[@gabrielmayorga6972]

hahahaha the timing for the opening of the stairway, good job!

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

It was meant to be!!!

[@deedeemegadoodoo2897]

I think the multi-lane surface roads are to accommodate the cars travelling by ferry. It was always a disaster getting off of the ferry from Bremerton or Bainbridge.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

That’s a good point. However, I’d prefer if they routed that traffic to 1st/2nd ave up in the city and left more space on the waterfront for pedestrians and more peaceful surroundings.

[@wallychesler1484]

This Guy is only partly right about open spaces. Seattle has Volunteer Park, Woodland Park and Greenlake (3 ) Overhead Freeway Parks , and many many large parks amd open spaces throughout Seattle. He just comes from Europe where most towns a d cities have a town square.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Those places are not in downtown except the freeway park which is small and awkward

[@thecyberseer]

Well done. It could have been better but it's a big improvement

[@leobethge6002]

Yes, definitely worth a visit. A lot of pedestrian traffic, which is great. Give the waterfront back to the people, not a stacked highway separating Seattle from the waterfront. Great job Seattle!

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

It’s a big improvement

[@graham974]

Could have been better, but definitely an improvement. Can't wait to check it out in person. Thanks for this!

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

You are welcome More to come

[@KoreaWalkingToursTV]

GREAT ❤❤❤

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Thank you 😀

[@babyboy1971]

This is a nice foray from tech talk to walking tours! Nice! Sorry to ask a camera question but what camera was this filmed on? The colors and POV are great. Subbed for sure! Do more!

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

GoPro 13. Thanks for subbing

[@babyboy1971]

@@GeminiWalkandTalk nice. I have the GoPro 12 and I really enjoy it on sunny days. Happy to subscribe, this is a very cool idea for a channel. I wish you great success!

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Thank you

[@Djamonja]

Good video and good commentary. They tore out the old Viaduct (the 2 highways stacked on top of each other) and replaced it with a tunnel and this road. I assume they will add more greenery, and most of it is supposed to be finished in 2025. That is a pier they are replacing over the water.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Thanks the tip. I'll try

[@peterdorn5799]

ocean pavilion is amazing, the overlook walk opens out. 4, aquarium to sculpture park be green with trees and pedestrian walk w/ bike trail around the bay across the west seatle bridge to alki biking that would be a nice video, overlook walk, check it out

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

I should thanks for the tip

[@indrasisvlog]

Hello GEMINI WALK, I found this channel from the GEMINI CONNECT channel, I want to ask what camera is used in this video? and is the recording using 1080P 30 Fps resolution? Greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

This is the GoPro 13

[@indrasisvlog]

@@GeminiWalkandTalk Thanks for the info, I hope this channel becomes more successful

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Thanks, me too. It's only the first day 😃

[@Kahoobb]

is there a ramp or elevator? Or only stairs?

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

There’s a public elevator near the new aquarium building.

[@ToshkoGenev]

Добре познато място. Прекрасно е!

[@HershNoeie]

Gee such harsh criticism of such an amazing development. To expect no cars or access is wild. The knocked down an elevated concrete ugly and made this! It is amazing. If you want disappointment come to Tacoma’s waterfront. We could only dream of having half of this development. Overall live all of it and the vitality. The park is very modern. Active with tons of people.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

What harsh criticism. I was mostly positive

[@qiangyu7825]

I will pitch my tent there tomorrow!

[@Oo-IIII-oO]

Only until 10pm

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Nice place

[@idfwpwdfwm]

What most people including yourself fail to understand about there still being an existing road that runs through the waterfront is that there are still businesses that need to have access and there still being a Ferry ⛴️ Terminal that people drive their vehicles off and on to commute to and from the islands. Also, I don’t understand why there’s an issue with seeing concrete? How else would a big structural overlook and expanded walking and bike path been built or added? There’s plenty of green space waking distance further up near and around Olympic Sculpture Park, Myrtle Edwards Park and beyond.

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Business can be walked to, concrete is depressing and ugly. Hope that helps

[@preetsharma7457]

⁠@@GeminiWalkandTalk but then how would you build a huge structure like overlook without concrete? I think once the trees and plants are mature then most of the concrete will be unnoticeable.

[@lareverie8285]

It looks pretty depressing, they could had done a nicer design in my opinion, it feels souless

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Hopefully

[@tnickknight]

Looks good for an American city

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Yes indeed

[@louyht7]

Is Seattle worth visiting?

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Yes but it needs to be done right

[@louyht7]

@@GeminiWalkandTalk How much money do I need to bring for 3 days in Seattle?

Will the Gemini discover channel have new videos in the future?

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

Yes, Gemini discover now gets picked in the algorithm exclusively for family travel and tour guide videos so we’ll continue those there. We have many filmed but haven’t been able to edit anything after the newborn

[@Oo-IIII-oO]

Westlake park is kind of the Seattle's "square"

[@GeminiWalkandTalk]

It's too small and not much happens there

[@маргаритагенева-н4т]

ммм, отдавна исках да видя какво е станало там, след като за последен път видях багерите, които го разрушаваха с поглед от площадката при Пайк плейс

Hows the parking now?

Pretty bad but we managed
