The Port of Seattle closed part of Jack Block Park pier due to unexplained damage, likely from a vessel, delaying repairs until 2028.
The Port of Seattle has closed a section of the pier at Jack Block Park in West Seattle due to unexplained damage, likely caused by a vessel like a tugboat, though no responsible party has been identified.
Officials expect to begin repairs after securing permits, with construction for the full pier rebuild slated for the fourth quarter of 2028.
The closure marks another setback for the long-closed pier, which has faced safety concerns since a 2019 collision.
Despite $14 million in funding from the Northwest Seaport Alliance and additional Port contributions, progress has been slow, sparking public questions over delays and costs.
The rest of the park remains open.
