Most viewed - Seattle Gas Works Park

Goose Hill761 viewsKite Hill got its name because it was a good place to fly kites from, but it should be renamed Goose Hill because the Canada geese have taken it over.

Aurora Avenue Bridge739 viewsAurora Avenue is Highway US 99, which also passes very near our B&B in Edmonds away to the north.

Canada Geese719 viewsThese geese are the same ones who show up on the golf course near our house in the fall and spring. The one in front is George, the next one is Georgia, the third is Geoff, then Glenda, and so on.

Queen Anne Hill708 viewsThe hill is 456 feet high, the second highest point in Seattle, and contains a number of steep streets and pedestrian staircases; it also hosts 3 TV towers..

Reclamation677 viewsBy the time the Gas Works shut down in 1956, this site was a toxic hellhole. Advanced bioremediation methods were used to clean it up and turn it into a public park, which opened in 1973. The gas plant was left intact as a museum piece.

City of Waterways674 viewsThis busy waterway is a part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal known as the Fremont Cut. The Canal enables water transport from Puget Sound to (surprise!) Lake Washington, via Lake Union..

Capitol Hill670 viewsTo the left (east) of downtown is the Capitol Hill district, a hilly, densely populated area which is a center of entertainment and nightlife, and also of Seattle's LGBTQ community.

Seattle Gas Works659 viewsThe Seattle Gas LIght company built this plant in 1906 and operated it until 1956, using coal and oil gasification technology..

Dominant Species657 viewsThe geese ignore the humans, whom they clearly regard as an inferior species, unworthy of their attention.

Space Needle656 viewsJust to the left of center in the picture you can see the Needle, which proudly towers over the southern section of the Queen Anne District.

Eastlake District648 viewsA view of the eastern shore of Lake Union from Kite Hill. The large white structure at center near the top of the hill, is St Mark's Episcopal Cathedral.

Feathered Friends637 viewsThese guys flew down the West Coast Flyway and arrived at the pond on the Seven Hills Golf Course about two weeks after we got home.
