Becca Aue is the manager of the Neighborhood Parks, Green Connections and Strategic Project Initiatives at the Seattle Parks Foundation. She’ll be speaking about the organization and how it works to improve, expand, and connect parks, trails, and green spaces.
She’ll discuss improvements that have been made to Queen Anne parks through the Parks Foundation and its sustainable development and stewardship of Seattle’s parklands. Included in the foundation’s current Queen Anne activities are the Uptown Triangle, Seattle Neighborhood Greenways, the Lake to Bay Loop, and the Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop.
These projects all include large historically significant portions of Queen Anne. The west side of the Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop runs along the site of the first Seattle streetcar line and the new Lake to Bay Loop treks from Myrtle Edwards Park over the Thomas Street bridge, passing the landmark Seattle Center buildings.
Join the Queen Anne Historical Society on Thursday to learn more about the Seattle Parks Foundation and discuss our own Queen Anne parks.
