Parks & Nature
This Park has unique history. It's named after the first openly-gay politician in Seattle. He's worth a read!
The park itself is great for sun bathing or a walk around to see all the sports that happen locally each day.

Getting Around
You can get a ticket at the machine for your travels. If you're staying in Seattle for a longer period or plan on returning, get an ORCA card. This is the best way to get downtown and into some other cool neighborhoods
