Before construction of the canal, Lake Union emptied into Salmon Bay via a creek which followed roughly the same course as the Fremont Cut does today.

Famous quotes containing the words connections, bodies and/or water:
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,

a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.

—T.E. (Thomas Edward)
“The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else.”
