Alaskan Way

Alaskan Way

Alaskan Way, originally Railroad Avenue, is a street in Seattle, Washington, that runs along the Elliott Bay waterfront from just north of S. Holgate Street in the Industrial District, where it becomes East Marginal Way S., to Broad Street in Belltown, at the south end of Myrtle Edwards Park. The right-of-way continues northwest through the park, just west of the BNSF Railway mainline, and the roadway picks up again for a few blocks at Smith Cove.

It gives its name to the Alaskan Way Viaduct, which carries Washington State Route 99 through Downtown Seattle.
