Lake Washington canal, circa 1904
Order an ImageSeveral small canals once connected Puget Sound, Lake Union and Lake Washington. These waterways were large enough to move logs but too small for boats. They were replaced by the Lake Washington Ship Canal, which opened in 1917.
This photo shows a narrow portion of the canal in about 1904, before the Lake Washington Ship Canal was built. The photo may have been taken between Lake Union and Salmon Bay. Heavy earthmoving machinery may be seen in the far distance (center).
