Gas Works definately gives you a sense of how different Seattle is. What a great place to take the kids or to go and fly a kite. More

This is a great place to get some amazing pictures of the city. Be ready to climb a hill, but totally worth it. Make a short visit here! More

This park gives a great view of Lake Union. It's got panaramic views in all directions. It's one of the favorite parks I've visited in Seattle. More

Most people know Gasworks Park for being the premiere place to watch the fireworks on Fourth of July.

And, in spite of the title here, I can guarantee I'll never again return. If you are there for the 4th of July fireworks display [that's what drew me there], you will take note that there is no easy way to escape the park should that need arise.

Super cool and look across Lake Union to the space needle and all the house boats. Grab a lunch to go, eat it on the hills of the park, and don't forget to lock up everything in your car!! More
