Renovations to West Seattle Stadium in the past 15 years

I am sure this is not a complete list, but here are a few I found.

From 1993:

West Seattle Stadium will be closed for a year while the existing sod and soil is removed and grass is reseeded on a durable sand-based structure, the Parks Department says.

The stadium will reopen for the fall 1994 football season.

"The existing field composition was inadequate to the demands of last fall's approximately 170 games of high school, junior tackle, junior flag and adult flag football games," said Gavin Layton, a Parks Department spokesman.

Games that normally would be scheduled at West Seattle Stadium will be rescheduled at various West Seattle playfields or Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center, Layton said.

The department estimates the project will cost $25,000.

Until the new turf is established, keep off the grass, says the Parks Department.

West Seattle Stadium - Improvements

This project, part of the 2000 Parks Levy, improves West Seattle Stadium for a variety of active uses including track and field.

Proposed Joint Athletic Field Development Program improvements include renovation of existing grandstands, restroom/concession

facility, maintenance facility, new lighting, rubberized track, high jump areas, long/triple jump, pole vault, shot put, javelin

throw, steeple chase, hammer throw, and discus areas. The Department intends to pursue an option that allows for a full complement

of track and field events and retains the Stadium for football use. This is a lighted grass facility. The improvements replace the

lighting and improve the grass as well as develop capacity for new events. The scope of work for this project is to be developed

through a community process, working within the budget identified below and other non-levy fund sources that become available.

Operations and maintenance costs associated with levy projects are to be funded out of levy proceeds through 2008.


The 2006-2011, 2004-2009, and 2003-2008 CIP says the same thing. Does not appear in the 2002-2007 CIP

West Seattle Stadium Track Resurface - June 2007
Atlas Track & Tennis recently completed the 1.1 million dollar track renovation project for the City of Seattle's Parks and

Recreation Department at historic West Seattle Stadium. Renovation of the old West Seattle Stadium included removal and disposal of the old surface, sub-base repairs and application of a new 18mm ATLAS SW surface.

Atlas and their sub-contractor, Premier Fields, teamed together to upgrade the entire facility including new long jump pits, steeplechase, pole vault, discus and shot put event areas. New equipment lighting and a water retention pond were also added to the facility to handle the heavy rains that Seattle is known for.
