Wikipedia's Eastlake entry

I was surprised to stumble across an entry in Wikipedia for Eastlake. Other relevant-to-Eastlake Wikipedia entries of note: Lake Union, the University Bridge, and Lake Union Dry Dock Company. (All of these links were in the original Eastlake article.)

Did I miss any?

Update: Commenter Aaron pointed out an entry for Colonnade Park.
