Connections To Other Bodies of Water

Part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal system, water flows into the lake from Lake Washington through the Montlake Cut, and out via the Fremont Cut on its way to Puget Sound. 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:

    “The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “At the round earth’s imagined corners, blow
    Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise
    From death, you numberless infinities
    Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go,”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe.... The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the griefs and shames of others.”
    —Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)
