I’ve wanted to go to Gas Works Park ever since I saw it in the Seattle segment of the 2008 Where the Hell is Matt? video. The park is the former site of a gas plant, but much of the machinery has been left as part of the park though the most dangerous elements have been removed or sealed off.
It’s actually a great park for scenery. You’ve got derelict remnants of the industrial era, Lake Union w/ myriad boats and seaplanes, green fields, kites, and more. The beautiful weather assisted in the wonder of the experience as well.
