South Lake Union

What was once a midway point for timber and coal traveling by barge from across Lake Washington, South Lake Union has recently transformed into one of the most hip and highly developed areas in Seattle. Located in the heart of downtown, South Lake Union is certified LEED by the U.S. Green Building Council. Seattle Biomedical Research Institute on Westlake was one of the nation's first silver-level LEED lab buildings, and the South Lake Union Streetcar is Seattle's first modern electric streetcar, extending 2.6 miles to neighborhood amenities and connecting to additional transit systems. Numerous other life science organizations as well as high-tech corporations, the Center for Wooden Boats, Museum of History and Industry, and newly developed Lake Union Park are popular attractions that dominate South Lake Union.
