Replacing the deteriorating Elliott Bay Seawall looks like it will be left in the hands of the voters.
The Seattle City Council unanimously approved a resolution Monday night to move forward with planning for a 30-year property tax bond to pay for the project which estimates say will cost around $300 million.
Experts say if our area is hit by another big earthquake, the seawall could completely collapse.
The city council intends to get a seawall replacement bond measure before voters on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.
