Resources on Lake Union
Below you will find various resources that relate to history, data, and research of Lake Union and its surrounding shorelines.
History of Lake Union
Field Notes: Observing Lake Union is an audio tour of the Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop, created by the Studio for Urban Projects, that explores how changing conceptions of nature, and our place within it, have shaped Seattle’s Lake Union over the last two hundred years. The piece focuses on the underlying ecology of Lake Union and its transformation through eras of geologic change, Native American stewardship, European settlement, commercial industry and large-scale infrastructural development as well as urban planning and park design. The project probes the complex interplay between human values and natural ecologies that have shaped Lake Union today.
