The Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop was ceremonially dedicated recently by Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and residents of the Lake Union waterfront. There is a lot of work to be done, but the plans for improved access and recreation around the lake will benefit Seattle as a whole.
The trail, named for a Native American chief who led a tribe in the area, should create access to Lake Union for local residents. The master plan is to connect Gasworks Park along with dozens of other pocket parks and street ends that surround the lake. This should create better walking, biking, and jogging trails for the residents of Wallingford, Eastlake, South Lake Union, Montlake, and Westlake. It will probably also attract more visitors from the rest of the city for recreation, similar to Green Lake's draw.
