Lakefront park on a former airfield, with wetlands, a swim beach and a wind-played sculpture nearby.
This guide to Warren G. Magnuson Park in Seattle centers on twelve steel towers fitted with old brass organ pipes, built by artist Douglas Hollis between 1982 and 1983 and named A Sound Garden for the moaning chord the wind off the lake plays through them. It follows how a teenage garage band nearby borrowed that name in the mid-1980s, and how grieving fans gathered at the fence here after Soundgarden's singer, Chris Cornell, died in 2017. Listen for the same wind organ that gave the band its name, on land the Navy handed to NOAA back in 1975.
