Seattle Commons was a proposed urban park located in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The 61-acre (25 ha) park was the centerpiece of a larger redevelopment of the neighborhood, first proposed in 1991 by architect Fred Bassetti and Seattle Times columnist John Hinterberger. Two municipal elections were held by the City of Seattle to fund the project, with voters rejecting the initial $111 million property tax levy in September 1995 and a smaller plan with a $50 million property tax in May 1996. 11.5 acres (4.7 ha) of land in the proposed park area that had been bought by Paul Allen for the Seattle Commons Committee was later used by Vulcan Inc. to begin the redevelopment of South Lake Union. The smaller Lake Union Park was opened in two phases from 2008 to 2010 as a realization of the waterfront aspect of the Seattle Commons plan.
