"You are as beautiful as fireworks, so beautiful". Speaking of Seattle, the first thing that came to mind was the towering Space Needle, then the bustling Pike Place, and the picturesque University of Washington. On July 7th Independence Day, this year's emerald city surrounded by green mountains and green waters will also bloom magnificent fireworks. In addition to fireworks, there are grand parades, and celebrations make this artistic city more charming.
July 4th Celebration @ Lake Union ｜ Seafair Summer Fourth
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.

Other great places to watch Lake Union fireworks:
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 in Gas Works Park, the crowding here is bound to be much better, so watching the fireworks at Lake Union Park on Independence Day is a smart choice.
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 ~
