Gas Works Park

Gas Works Park is a Lake Union park built on a former gasification plant, where preserved industrial structures give a waterside visit an unusual historical frame.

Why go

Go to Gas Works Park for a waterfront park where industrial remnants are part of the experience. The former Seattle Gas Light Company plant operated from 1906 to 1956 before the city acquired the site for park use. Its surviving machinery and boiler-house structure make the setting more specific than a conventional lakeside lawn or viewpoint.

What to look for
