Every year on Independence Day, there is a large fireworks show in Seattle. Compared with the New Year's Eve Space Needle fireworks, the Independence Day fireworks blooming above Lake Union look more grand and beautiful because of the water background. The team collected 7 good places for you to watch the Lake Union fireworks. Everyone can do their best with their lovers and friends, look back at the stars, and enjoy the annual Independence Day.
Lake union
Date: 2017 Year 7 Month 4 Day
Time: The fireworks show starts at 10:20 pm and the show lasts about 20 minutes
Address: Gas Works Park / Lake Union Park / Restaurants at AGC Building/ Aurora Bridge/ West Lake Ave N/ Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop/ MacLean Park
Gas works park
The first place to watch the Independence Day fireworks must be here. The hills of Gas Works Park are directly opposite Lake Union. The elevation slightly above the water makes the fireworks clear. There will be Live music and American Games here at noon on Independence Day. In the evening, there will be a lot of people gathered here, and everyone can take a good place in advance. In addition, the side effect of crowded people is that parking can become a big problem. The team recommends that you park your car a little far from the park and walk, or take public transportation.

Lake union park
Lake Union Park is just across the road from Gas Works Park, across the lake. In contrast, Lake Union Park is smaller in area and relatively flat, but it is still a place to watch fireworks near the water. Since most people will gather at Gas Works Park, the crowding here is bound to be much better, so it is a smart choice to watch fireworks at Lake Union Park in the evening of Independence Day.

Restaurants at AGC Building
As far as food is concerned, it would be better if the fireworks can be eaten and watched. In fact, this dream is not difficult to realize.Located in the ACG Building on the west bank of Lake Union, there are many lake-view restaurants including Duke's, Joey's, McCormick's, Schmick's, etc.Fireworks paired with food and wine must be a more memorable Independence Day experience.

Aurora Bridge
The Aurora Bridge west of Gas Works Park spans Lake Union, and there are narrow lanes on both sides of the carriageway for pedestrians. If you can fix the parking problem, you can watch the fireworks here.

West lake ave n
The closest road on the west side of Lake Union to the lake is this Lake Union Ave North. As a highway along the lake, many places on the entire road that can see the lake view can be a good place to enjoy the fireworks on the night of Independence Day. Avoiding the crowds and finding your own fireworks viewing place on West Lake Ave N is undoubtedly a more romantic thing.

Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop
This loop is wrapped in the West Lake Ave N mentioned above, closer to Lake Union, and is a popular jogging spot for the Seattle people (because you can enjoy the lake view while running). There are a variety of small parks and green areas along the road. Stopping casually is a good place to watch fireworks.

MacLean Park
This park is not on the shore of Lake Union, but because of the terrain, it overlooks Lake Union. Arrive at MacLean Park before dusk and overlook the looming Cascade Mountains across. There is such a beautiful scenery to see before the fireworks bloom, and I got a value-priced package without spending a penny ~
