TRANSIT: The Seattle Streetcar stops at 9th Ave., Westlake Ave., and Blanchard St. Metro routes #8 and 70 stop along Fairview Ave. N.

That’s not to say there was nothing there before. For decades, city officials vowed to maintain Lake Union as a “working lake,” and the blocks south of the lake still hold onto a lot of industry, history, and a particular rustic beauty.
