The original residents of Seward Park were native Americans from the Duamish Tribe. White settlers came to the area in the late 1800s and began logging the old-growth trees. Today, Seward Park is a residential Seattle neighborhood bordered by Lake Washington to the east, South Genesse Street to the north, South Kenyon Street to the south and Rainier Avenue South to the west. Seward Park was named for the adjacent park that juts into Lake Washingtons southwest shore. The park itself is a remnant of the old-growth forest, boasting beautiful scenery and lush gardens. Picnic and play areas are available and an amphitheater holds large crowds for a variety of outdoor events. In addition, a 2.5-mile path winds around the waterfront and a public beach is available for summertime swimming.
