Top 10 Things to do in Lake Union, Washington (WA)

October 6, 2021 Sheron Bogner

In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

Gas Works Park

From industrial sludge to family fun: this urban park features an industrial plant-turned kiddie play area as well as a beautiful lake and picnic area.

Reviewed By LeslieOW - Poughkeepsie, United States

Our visit was one of those “while we’re in the neighborhood” things, and I’m so glad we followed through. The site is an abandoned gasification plant on the north shore of Lake Union, with a stunning view of the Seattle skyline and a great perspective on the pleasure craft and sea planes to be found on the lake. There’s a playground, extensive grounds and a kite-flying hill all overlooking the city, Queen Anne, and Capitol Hill. There were people of all ages enjoying the park while we were there. It’s a great site for picnicking, or for just chilling on the hillside. A word of advice—watch your step, because geese LOVE the place there are goose droppings everywhere.. Words don’t do justice to what a neat place this is!
