You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Lake Union Park''' is a ((convert|12|acre|sing=on)) park located at the south end of [[Lake Union]] in [[Seattle, Washington]] in the [[South Lake Union]] neighborhood. The park is owned by the City of Seattle and operated by [[Seattle Parks and Recreation]]. The park property was gradually acquired by the City, and the final ((convert|5|acre)) were transferred from the [[United States Navy]] to the City of Seattle on July 1, 2000. After renovation, the current park space officially opened on September 25, 2010.<ref>Unsinkable (2010-09-24). Lake Union Park Grand Opening Celebration! Saturday the 25th, Sunrise to Sunset. South Lake Union blog, 24 September 2010. Retrieved from http://blog.seattlepi.com/insouthlakeunion/archives/222292.asp</ref>

==History==
While the property was acquired by the City for the purpose of providing public park space, it was underutilized for a prolonged period due to a lack of attractive park features. Seattle Parks Foundation attempted to address that issue by conducting a campaign to raise the funds needed to substantially improve the park's facilities. The  capital campaign goal was $20 million. In addition, the Seattle City Council appropriated $4.228 million in funds to repair the property's bulkhead and $5 million went to the project from the voter-approved 2000 Pro Parks Levy.

==Facilities==
[[File:Mohai.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Museum of History and Industry]] is situated on the park.]]
The park design is optimized to provide access to water and green space, connect the surrounding neighborhoods, and celebrate the cultural, industrial, and maritime heritage of the city and region.  Lake Union Park includes restored shoreline, a pedestrian bridge, a model boat pond, a history trail, a fountain of water jets, a beach for launching boats, a footprint for The [[Center for Wooden Boats]]' new Education Center (future facility), a grove of trees, a Great Lawn, footpaths, park benches, and infrastructure that can support large events. Lake Union Park also has a station for the [[South Lake Union Streetcar]], which began operating in late 2007.

The park includes a Historic Ships Wharf housing several historic vessels, including the tug ''[[Arthur Foss]]'', the fireboat ''[[Duwamish (fireboat)|Duwamish]]'', the lightship ''[[United States lightship Swiftsure (LV-83)|Swiftsure]]'', and the steamer ''[[Virginia V]]''.  Several other large historic vessels visit the wharf, including the ''[[Hawaiian Chieftain]]'' and the ''[[Lady Washington]]'', which was featured in movies such as [[Pirates of the Caribbean]].

The property has several buildings, the largest of which is the former [[United States Navy Reserve|Naval Reserve]] building, colloquially called the Armory. In 2012, the Armory was fully restored and reopened as the new home of [[MOHAI| MOHAI, Seattle's Museum of History & Industry]].

Office space in the Armory was occupied by Seattle Parks and Recreation and several nonprofit groups, including the [[Center for Wooden Boats]], the Virginia V, Seattle Parks Foundation, and Associated Recreation Council until early 2011, at which point renovations began to make it the new site of the [[Museum of History and Industry]] (MOHAI). The new MOHAI was scheduled to open on December 29, 2012.

==Expansion==
Seattle voters rejected a 1995 levy that would have funded development and construction of the Seattle Commons, a greenspace from Lake Union to downtown Seattle. Supporters included Mayor Norm Rice and Paul Allen who later developed real estate in the area instead.<ref>Higgins, Mark (1995-09-20). Commons Levy Defeated.
