Location

The pedestrian area in front of Lake Union Park, very close to the spraypark.

Participants

Plans

Visit early in the day, because fireworks are planned for the evening here.

How early? Coyotebush (talk) 20:29, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- I'll probably be there around 9:30am or so myself. Coyotebush (talk) 04:43, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Expedition

Missed a bus, again. More like 10am. -- Coyotebush (talk) 09:34, 4 July 2019 (PDT)

Approaching from the southwest, I found an unexpected fence blocking my way and worried that the park might already have been closed off for the festival that accompanies the July 4 fireworks on Lake Union. Fortunately, a bit farther along was an entrance to the area. No spraypark fountains this overcast morning. I zeroed in on the spot easily enough and found a utility marking that lined up with Google's satellite image. After taking some photos, I caught the streetcar that stops right next to the park and rode nearly the entire mile-long line into downtown to continue my day.
