Chief Sealth Trail Connections
Updated: April, 2026
What's happening now?
We are excited to share that paths 1, 2, 4, and 5 have been completed! These asphalt walkways now provide convenient connections between the New Holly neighborhood and the Chief Sealth Trail.
Path 3 will be a stairway, and we plan to begin construction in early May. We hope to begin path 6 later this year.
Project Overview
The Chief Sealth Trail is a walking and biking trail running through the New Holly neighborhood, which is managed by Seattle Housing Authority. There are informal walking paths along the trail that connect the housing development to the trail and surrounding open space. The project will build accessible asphalt walkways to formalize connections to the New Holly Library, Community Center, P-Patch, and other community destinations.
Design
Paths 1, 2, 4, and 5 were completed in 2025. Connections 3 and 6 are planned for construction this year.

Project Background
This is one of nine Neighborhood Street Fund projects requested by community and selected by the Levy to Move Seattle Oversight Committee. Neighborhood Street Fund is a city program, running on 3-year cycles, that enables neighbors to propose and help prioritize transportation-related projects that are then built by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT).
For the 2022-2024 cycle, we made changes to the typical NSF process. Instead of calling for new ideas, we revisited the large pool of unselected 2019 applications for projects located in geographic equity areas.
