Traffic in the greater Seattle area can be a challenge if you commute by car. In this cloudy day shot, the I-5 freeway and its express lanes are actually flowing well despite being full of evening traffic. If you look closely you can see a green zone along the top left of Lake Union which is Gasworks Park. That is a popular place for viewing this Wednesday night's Independence Day fireworks display, shot off from the Sapce Needle at Seattle Center. It is also popular to gp boating on Lake Union for the July 4th celebration, where water reflections add to the enjoyment of the fireworks display and the whole lake is can become a friendly floating party. The Wallingford neighborhood is visible as a grid of neat residential blocks at the top of this shot, and commercial buildings line the I-5 Eastlake corridor.

The fireworks are shot off a barge in Lake Union and another one off of Elliott Bay, not the Space Needle...that is New Years.
Kim, that is excellent perspective between city with lake divides them. I really like the photo.
Hey, your shots are really nice - I went to your other blog but it was down. I'm looking forward to seeing it too. Have a good one, and I'll be back to see more.

Love the city view.
Hey Anon, Thanks for the correction on that. I appreciate it!
