Historical Note

The community organization Groundswell Off Broadway was organized in 1993 to restore historic Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill in Seattle, and rename it in honor of Cal Anderson, Washington's first openly gay legislator. The park re-opened on September 24, 2005. Lincoln Park was originally one of Seattle's Olmsted-designed parks.
