Celebrating A New Era: Besa Gordon Talks the New Waterfront Park on Good Day Seattle

Besa Gordon joined Good Day Seattle with Erin Mayovsky this morning to talk about the Emerald City’s new Waterfront Park that hosted some of this summer’s most joyous moments and all around good vibes for the Seattle community. From the Overlook Walk to the stream of art installations and live music, Besa made clear that the Waterfront is more than a park—its a platform to reconnect with Seattle’s roots.

With a sense of warmth and nostalgia, Besa talked about the elevated energy that consumed all that happened at the Waterfront this summer. “I have never seen the Waterfront activated like that,” Besa said. “It was a sight to see and to be a part of. It was really special for me.”

Besa’s history with the Waterfront dates back to before Back2Besa started, through her own sponsorships and indepenent coverage. As a result, she’s followed the construction and intention behind the Waterfront Park with pride. “They weren't just building a park, they were building a canvas for our culture,” she said, thanking the director of the Office of the Waterfront Angela Brady and her team who made the new epicenter of Seattle culture and community a reality.

The full segment on the Waterfront Park will be featured this weekend on Back2Besa, along with other inspirational and community-focused stories in the greater Seattle area. Watch Back2Besa on FOX 13 Seattle, Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. and FOX 13+ Sundays at 10 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
