| Caption | Lake Union was once primarily an industrial lake ringed by lumber mills, shipyards, tar and asphalt companies, and a gas works. For many years, the gas works supplied natural gas, made from coal, to Seattle's homes and businesses. The gasworks were shut down in 1956. In the late 1970s, the grounds were transformed into Gas Works Park.
