Title
English: Logs and railroad at Lake Forest Park, ca. 1902
Description
English: Between the 1870s and about 1910, loggers cleared the area north of Lake Washington, now Lake Forest Park and Kenmore. Workers floated the logs to area mills or to Seattle's Lake Union via a logging canal. The Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad, completed to the area in 1887, carried logs to Seattle by rail. Once the land was cleared, developers promoted Lake Forest Park as a residential area.

This photo, taken around 1902 at Lake Forest Park, shows a locomotive and two flatcars loaded with logs on a pier. Numerous logs float nearby in Lake Washington. The photo was taken before the completion of the Lake Washington Ship Canal lowered the water level in the lake. However, the location seems to correspond roughly to the late 20th-century Log Boom Park.
