The City of Seattle Wants You to Name that Park!

| The City of Seattle, the Seattle DOT, and the Seattle Parks Foundation are working on a a new trail around Lake Union. There isn’t much you can do about using the unnamed trail until it’s been completed and opened to the public, but there is something you can do about it’s unnamed status. Enter the “Help Name the Lake Union Trail” contest [Seattle Parks [1]] and not only could you have the satisfaction of having made your permanent mark on the city, you could win a Novara bicycle from REI, four tickets to the Lake Union/Lake Wash Argosy Cruise (this is really a great cruise, if you’ve never taken it, you totally should) or a $50 gift certificate to Outdoor & More. Put your thinking caps on now if you want your suggestion to have a chance at winning–the entry deadline is February 18th after which Mayor Nickels will select the winner.
Here’s the concept sketch of the trail. As you can see, it’s pretty straightforward, just a trail that follows the lake’s boundaries. The trail will cross the lake at two points, the Fremont Bridge and the University Bridge. I think it would be a lot of fun to walk the whole trail on a nice day, someday, when the trail is done and the weather has improved. |
