East Montlake Park is apark in theMontlakeneighborhood ofSeattle,Washington, USA. The park is bounded on the north by theMontlake Cut, on the east byUnion Bay, on the south byWashington State Route 520, and on the west by East Park Drive E.[1] It is across from the Huskies Stadium.[2] There is a large parking area.[3]
The 1971 Montlake Cut Waterside Trail runs through the park past the 40-foottotem pole shown at right on its way toWest Montlake Park. A plaque at the bottom of the totem pole states that it was carved in 1937 by John Dewey Wallace, aHaida chief, inWaterfall, Alaska. The dedication ceremony for the donated totem pole took place in May 1983.[citation needed] The park used to house the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) until the museum was relocated to a different location.[1] There are also floating paths, an observation deck, and some benches.[2]
Before construction of theEvergreen Point Floating Bridge replacement,McCurdy Park, formerly home to theMuseum of History & Industry, existed to the south and east. Since 2019, East Montlake Park has been closed for preparation of theWSDOT 520 bridge replacement project.[4]
