kerryberry: "Local bookstore with a comfy reading and browsing atmosphere and an in-store cafe. Hard to resist leaving without buying a few books. The store also boasts author readings and autographing sessions."
bdc2000 Cronshaw: "Check out the pine trees behind 1716 Alki Ave. for the Bald Eagles' nest. They sometimes catch fish and eat them on the beach next to the Beach path."
Finn B: "If you are fascinated by aeroplanes, this is the museum for you! Enjoy the evolution of flight for more than a century. I was fortunate to travel on the Concorde in 1995 - great to step inside again!"
Sam Gr: "The coolest park in Seattle. Watch the sunset over the Olympics. Take a 3-mile loop hike that feels like you're in the rainforest. Head to the beach and lighthouse if you have time."
Jason Stoff: "Walk the loop! It's got great views. If you don't have a dog with you, head downtown one of the beaches - it's gorgeous, and the trip adds about 30 flights of stairs to your excursion."
Kathryn C: "Amazing views on clear days of lake union and the skyline. Even on a cloudy or foggy day, the towers are very cool to see."
Connie Chiu: "Such a beautiful park with the bay and Seattle skyline. The old gas work infrastructure adds a awesome touch. The bathrooms are gross though."
Christopher Johnston: "Great place to get a view of Seattle from above. If come on a clear day you can get a shot of the city and Mt. Rainer in the background. Bring a DSLR, a tripod, and lens in the 50-70mm range."
Allison Yu: "Awesome view of Seattle and Mt. Rainier on a clear day. Grab some Molly moon's ice cream a few blocks over and enjoy your snack with a view!"
