Cheslahud Lake Union Loop
On April 23rd, Mayor Nickels announced the name for the new 6.2-mile trail that Seattle Parks Foundation and the City are creating around Lake Union - the "Chesluhud Lake Union Loop." Cheslahud (pronounced Ches-La-Hud), a friend of Seattle founder David Denny, was a Duwamish Chief who lived on Lake Union.
