Walking the Old West Lake Union Trolley Line

The least visited of the lake's four sides, the western shore of Lake Union was first developed as a trolley line in the 1890s, then largely left alone. We happened upon the line by descending a stairway at the south end of the Fremont Bridge. We then followed the decrepit tracks south, encountering a neat mix of houseboats, marinas, and funny signs.

This little bookstore is pretty nice. It has a good selection of Northwest travel/history, and, as you'd expect, a terrific selection of nautical books and other items. Also--Jimmy Buffett!
