Lake Union is a freshwater lake entirely within the Seattle, Washington city limits and a major portion of the Lake Washington Ship Canal. Its easternmost point is the Ship Canal Bridge, which carries Interstate 5 over the eastern arm of the lake and separates Lake Union from Portage Bay. Lake Union is the namesake of the neighborhoods located on its east and west shores: Eastlake and Westlake, respectively. The northern shore of the lake is home to Gas Works Park. Notable features of the southern portion of the lake—collectively known as the South Lake Union district—include Lake Union Park, Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), and the Center for Wooden Boats.
The George Washington Memorial "Aurora" Bridge carries State Route 99 over the western arm of Lake Union. The Aurora Bridge is so named because it carries Aurora Ave N down the western side of the lake. Lake Union's westernmost point can be considered the Fremont Cut, which is located just east of the Aurora Bridge and is spanned by the Fremont Bridge. The Fremont Bridge carries Fremont Ave N between the neighborhoods of Fremont and Queen Anne and separates Lake Union from the rest of the Lake Washington Ship Canal to the west.
Lake Union Park is a 12-acre (4.9 ha) park located at the south end of Lake Union in Seattle, Washington in the South Lake Union neighborhood. The park is owned by the City of Seattle and operated by Seattle Parks and Recreation. The park property was gradually acquired by the City, and the final 5 acres (2.0 ha) were transferred from the United States Navy to the City of Seattle on July 1, 2000. After renovation, the current park space officially opened on September 25, 2010.
While the property was acquired by the City for the purpose of providing public park space, it was underutilized for a prolonged period due to a lack of attractive park features. Seattle Parks Foundation attempted to address that issue by conducting a campaign to raise the funds needed to substantially improve the park's facilities. The capital campaign goal was $20 million. In addition, the Seattle City Council appropriated $4.228 million in funds to repair the property's bulkhead and $5 million went to the project from the voter-approved 2000 Pro Parks Levy.
A fun place to visit in the summertime is Seattle’s Lake Union Park. This 12 acre park offers a lot to do in a relatively small place. The Park, the Center for Wooden Boats, and the Museum of History and Industry are magnets for Seattleites and for Seattle visitors on a sunny summer day.

Seattle Washington's Lake Union Park and Historic Boat Warf are located at the south end of Lake Union. Each antique vessel has a unique claim to fame. The fireboat is the second most powerful fireboat in the country. There is a wooden tug and an old steam powered passenger boat as well. Some of the boats are used by local Sea Scouts but you can board many of the vessels often times on weekends and during special events.

http://jonesfamilytravels.com On our last day in Seattle, Mommy and the kids went to the mall to get all the girls' ears pierced. The Dads went kayaking! That's the way it's supposed to work, right? We went down to the Aqua Verde Cafe and Paddle Club on the Friday before the 4th of July on a supremely beautiful Seattle day. We got there right as they opened and only had one group in front of us. By the time we got back, two hours later, the line was around the building!!! It was crazy!! Anyway, we took the kayaks out into Lake Union, past Gas Works Park, under the Aurora bridge and the Freemont bridge. We saw the Space Needle, planes landing on the water and the Seattle duck tours. We also saw a LOT of boat houses that were all so unique! It was a lot of fun, a little anxious ...

In 1868, Bavarian King Ludwig The Second had a dream come true in Allgäu, southern Germany: Castle Neuschwanstein, the realisation of his amazing world of fantasy situated close to Castle Hoch-Schwangau where as a child the king had immersed himself in German mythology. The fairytale castle was seventeen years in construction and in every way the idyll of ancient German knighthood, a union of both castle and its surroundings. The dining room is full of paintings that depict scenes from Wartburg at the time of the legendary Singer War. The centre of the room is dominated by a massive table top made of gilded bronze, Siegfried and his fight with the dragon, good against evil. The Throne Hall is a most magnificent and impressive room, two storeys high with lateral rows of columns and a gild...

Ellen and Eric started their wedding day at Christ Our Hope Catholic Church in Seattle. It is a relatively new church just a couple of blocks from Pike Place Market. Then we went to the Olympic Sculpture Park and Myrtle Edwards Park on the Seattle waterfront. It was a day of beautiful, subtle light with a layer of clouds. Finally, we went to the Lake Union Cafe for the reception. A beautiful and delicious place to end the night!
