Playing Tourist at Lake Union Park

 

4/30/25 Lake Union Park


 


After Gas Works, my favorite Seattle park is Lake Union Park. (It’s probably not a coincidence that the two parks, each visible from the other from across the water, are on opposite ends of Lake Union; I grew up on Lake Washington, so a fondness for lakes is in my blood.) Although Roy has been a long-time Seattle-area resident, he had never visited or sketched there. Since Lake Union Park is one of the places I like to bring out-of-town visitors, I decided to play tour guide for him last Wednesday, which actually enabled me to feel like a tourist, too.

Another first for him was riding the South Lake Union Trolley (affectionately called the SLUT by locals), which I hadn’t ridden in a long time myself. It’s always fun to experience familiar things through the fresh eyes of first-timers.

I really enjoyed making these pages of on-location comics, so I’ll stop talking and let you read the commentary yourself.
