Description: Lake Washington Bicycle Path, Interlaken Park, Seattle, Washington. In the 1890s, George F. Cotterill, assistant city engineer and chairman of the Paths Committee of the Queen City Good Roads Club, organized volunteers to build 25-miles of bicycle paths, mainly along Lake Washington. Most of these were later turned into boulevards for automobiles under a plan overseen by the Olmsted firm. The bicycle in this photo is emerging from a portion of one of those boulevards that, unlike the others, has reverted to strictly bicycle and pedestrian use, and has the status of a city landmark.
