Harbor Island - Port of Seattle
Harbor Island is the third largest manmade island in the world. Cargo ships used to dump their ballast in this swampy region when they came into port; the ballast built up over time to the point where the city decided to do something about it. They dredged out the Duwamish River into the East and West Waterways, which border Harbor Island. These waterways are now the home to many gantry cranes used in international commerce.
