#15 is a park for those who yearn for waves beneath their feet! Stan Sayres Park sits along the shores of Lake Washington and it designed to launch all matters of water vehicles. The lake shore around the park bristles with a variety of boat launches and is busy year round. The park is named after the "fastest man on water" Stan Sayres, who was strongly connected to the hydroplane races on Lake Washington and did indeed hold the World Water Speed record.

Park #14 is by far the smallest park so far. Sitting at the intersection of Sierra Drive and Horton St, Sierra Place is a triangular pocket park in South Seattle.

Park #12 on our park journey is a beautiful location designed with kids in mind.

#11 on our list is a monument to the power of music. Roaring out of Aberdeen in the late 80's, Nirvana took the world by storm. But, sadly, the axiom "the brightest star burns out quickest" seems to have held true when lead singer, Kurt Cobain, passed away in 1994. Yards from his then home, fans gathered in Viretta Park and began leaving messages to him. The practice has continued to this day on the "Nirvana bench". The bench sits in the center of the lower park, covered in more than 25 years of messages of mourning, hope, love and influence. There is no parking available, making the moment more personal by not having as many interruptions.
