Mayor Bruce Harrell selected Marshall Foster to serve as the next director of the Seattle Center. Foster has been serving as the interim director of Seattle Center since January, overseeing operations and management of the 74-acre Seattle Center campus. In the last six months, Foster has led efforts to help bring back summer programming and events on campus and has prepared the Seattle Center for its new role managing Waterfront Park. He has also worked with City leadership to advance a partnership with Seattle Public Schools to redevelop Memorial Stadium with a new multi-use sports stadium to serve students and the larger community. Prior to this year, Foster helped create the City's Waterfront Seattle Program, serving as director of the Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects since 2014. Prior to these roles, he served as the City's planning director where he oversaw plans for South Lake Union's expansion, along with community plans for the Rainier Valley, Capitol Hill, the University District, and Northgate. Foster will continue to serve as interim director until confirmed by the City Council.
