Bering Marine of Seattle donated the propeller at the request of Philip Theil, naval architect and professor emeritus at the University of Washington’s School of Architecture. It was Mr. Theil’s idea to honor the tradition of working watercraft that plied Lake Union’s waters for decades. Please join Seattle Parks and Recreation in a community celebration of this project, Sunday, May 20, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the park. Click to skip down to:
