Brief History of Gas Works Park in Seattle Washington

The video explores a visit to a park by Lake Union, initially thought to have steampunk playground equipment. Instead, it features the remains of a coal gasification plant, the only one left in the U.S. The plant operated from 1906 to 1956, converting coal into gas for city use. After its closure, the area was transformed into a park with stunning views of Lake Union and the Seattle skyline.

What decision did city architects make after the plant was shut down?
