Help avoid another SLUT… Name the Lake Union Trail
Personally, I like referring to the South Lake Union Trolley/Streetcar as the SLUT. But I do agree that the original name was a bit of an unfortunate happenstance. Now the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department is working on a six mile multi-use trail around Lake Union. What do these two things have in common? Well, not a whole lot. But if you want to avoid the unfortunate naming of the trail as the Lake Union Trail (LUT) or worse, the Lake Union Strolling Track (LUST), now is your chance to tell them what you think it should be named.

There’s no current information available on progress or an eventual completion date for the trail.
It was never officially called a Trolley - so it was never officially called the SLUT. That’s a fanciful idea folks have latched onto to make the story funnier but it’s just not true. It’s always been called SLUS - South Lake Union Streetcar.
South (Lake Union) Multi-Use Trail.
And truth be damned, I will call it the SLUT if I want.
