Union Bay
Union Bay
is that part of
Lake Washington
west of a line drawn between Webster Point in
Seattle
's
Laurelhurst
neighborhood in the north and the northeast corner of the
Madison Park
neighborhood in the south. It ends at the eastern opening of the
Montlake Cut
of the
Lake Washington Ship Canal
. When the level of Lake Washington dropped nearly nine feet in
1916
as a result of the opening of the Ship Canal, a good portion of Union Bay became dry
land
or
marshland
. The University Village
shopping center
and most of the
University of Washington
's East Campus sit on this land today. It receives the water of
Arboretum Creek
, and, after construction planned for the summer of
2004
is completed, will also receive the water of
Ravenna Creek
via a pipeline from Ravenna Park to
University Slough
.
