	National/Local - Parks/Gardens: Magnuson Park Tip Rating:

Updated By Summer33 on June 2, 2004

magnuson stretch along lake
washington

by Summer33

Magnuson park is like nothing you'll ever experience. It is Seattle's second largest park at 350 acres and a mile long stretch along Lake Washington. You can launch your boat here, let the dogs run and swim in the off leash area, have a picnic, play tennis, or use any of the other playing fields for just about any and every type of sport. Or you can just swim, although I wouldn't recommend it, Lake Washington isn't the cleanest lake around, your better off taking a dip out in the middle of the lake rather then the shore.

National/Local - Parks/Gardens - Seattle

by Summer33

This is in my opinion probably one of the top 3 best parks in Seattle. You get the best view of the city, always a picture perfect moment. You MUST visit Gas Works Park if your visiting Seattle. You can knock out 3 birds with one stone because right by Gas Works is the Troll under the Bridge and Fremont in general which always fun and a great place to grab a bite to eat.

Lighthouse at Discovery Park

by leeludalas

This lighthouse is located in Discovery Park. There are some nice wooded trails through the park which lead down to the beach. The lighthouse lies at the end of the beach. Up at the top of the trail there are some amazing views of the surrounding islands, and the Olympic Mountains!

	National/Local - Parks/Gardens: Take a walk around Discovery Park Tip Rating:

We walked around and then took the South Beach Trail, which lead us down the wooden steps and along the beach to the lighthouse.

A great place to unwind with nature. We saw rabbits come out around dusk and caught sight and sound of woodpeckers banging away in the trees.

A long walk but some great views.

Entrance to Tillicum Village -
I am on the right

by aukahkay, 2 more photos

Located only 8 miles from Seattle’s downtown waterfront on Blake Island State Park, Tillicum Village recreates the ancient dwellings of the Northwest Coast Native Americans. The tour starts off with a 30-minute cruise on the Puget Sound to Blake Island where you may have the chance to see some orcas and dolphins on the way. Upon arrival at the longhouse, a sumptous buffet lunch awaits, featuring traditional Indian style baked salmon, clams in nectar broth and whole grain bread. This is followed by `Dance on the Wind', a spellbinding stage presentation highlighting some of the traditional dances, myths and legends of the Northwest Coast in a magical and unforgettable setting in the longhouse. With some free time to spare before returning to Pier 55, you can wander around in the State Park where you may have the chance to encounter some deer and eagles.

Go to Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill for the view of the skyline and Elliott Bay.
This is one of the nicest views in Seattle, and the neighborhood is very interesting and picturesque too.

If you love charming old neighborhoods head to Madison Park which borders Lake Washington. Some lovely old homes and a quaint neighborhood feel.

	National/Local - Parks/Gardens: Gasworks Park Tip Rating:

by Deborah_Bagg

This was always one of my favorite places to go as a kid. To someone who has no history here, it may, however, just look like an average looking hill with a bunch of old rusted buildings fenced off. But I liked climbing on some of the more child friendly parts, it was the most unusual playground I had ever seen. Gasworks Park also regularly hosts live concerts and events. There are some great views of Seattle here, and you can just sit back with your toes in the water for awhile.

Address: 1900 N. Northlake Way, Lake Union

	National/Local - Parks/Gardens: Aimless Wandering through the Arboretum

By Aebleskiver on August 17, 2004

Seattle Page by Aebleskiver

Appreciate a true urban treasure. The arboretum is nestled in the city, but after a few minutes, you'll feel like you're in the enchanted forest. The arboretum is big enough to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. In every season, there's something special. My favorite is the winter witch hazel. Be sure to take a jaunt over to the "islands" -- a serious of teeny islands in the midst of Lake Washington. They have perfect walking trails and connecting bridges. It's a great chance to experience local vegetation and wildlife. My favorite time to visit is first thing in the morning -- when those cute guys on the rowing team are on the lake!
