See Seattle from the "outside"
Gas Works Park in Seattle, Washington is a 19.1-acre public park on the site of the former Seattle Gas Light Company gasification plant, located on the north shore of Lake Union
Great park to see the Seattle skyline and planes take off. It's also perfect for kite flying. During the summer months there tends to be a lot of duck poop on the grass so look where you step. Love taking visitors to this park for the view and a unique atmosphere.
