Fourth of July on Lake Union

Family 4th on Lake Union

There is no better place to see bright things go BOOM than on Lake Union in Seattle on July 4th. Tens of thousands swell the waterfront areas all around the lake, especially in Gasworks Park, where the National Anthem is sung and Seattleites sing and cheer as the fireworks pop. These photos are taken from West Lake Ave. North. If you can manage to find a parking place this is a great spot to see the fireworks. Walk along Westlake and look for parking lots or businesses that offer a place to setup shop and watch the pyrotechnics, which are shot off from a barge a couple hundred meters south of Gasworks.
