Lake Union Dam Break Floods Government Canal
Heavy rains swelled Lake Washington and Lake Union and carried away the temporary dam between Lake Union and Government Canal. The breach widened the canal and eroded banks, threatening nearby property and cutting off Fremont to Green Lake street car service for hours. Fishermen fled, alarms sounded, and workers aided repairs as authorities assessed the extensive washout and efforts to stem further damage.
