Lake Union

Lake Union is a freshwater lake within Seattle and part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, where parks, boats and shorefront neighborhoods meet.

Lake Union

Why go

Lake Union makes Seattle's connection between lakes, canal and sound visible from shore. The lake receives water through the Montlake Cut and drains west through the Fremont Cut, while South Lake Union, Eastlake and Westlake frame different edges. Follow its parks and bridges to understand why boating and industry shaped the city's central geography.

What to look for

  • Lake Union is part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal.
