Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Seattle

R B • June 24, 2015It's four miles from the bridge to the end of Alki Beach Park, 8 mi round trip. Walk, bike, board, skate or run!

Jenny • November 27, 2011It's like the west coast beach vibe meets the east coast beach weather...great place for a refreshing walk or to relax in the sand.

D B. • August 17, 2014Great views, take a nice walk along the water. Plenty of places for a picnic or family gathering. Also has a large pool for a fee.

AmateurConcierge • October 13, 2018Awesome dog run about 20 min outside of downtown. Nice trail, agility course and a bunch of open space

KC S. • December 28, 2014Beautiful downtown Seattle view... even in the winter! Nice walking path too.

Kaitlin • January 16, 2017A great, heavily wooded park in the heart of Alki.

Tom L. • October 24, 2011Check the tide schedule. Awesome beach combing at low tide.

Christine R. • April 9, 2017Quiet little viewpoint with several benches and some green space if you have a pet or want to picnic

Carla F. • July 25, 2013Great view of the city, despite the tree overgrowth in the summer months.

Myasha B. • March 18, 2015Came here midday on a Wednesday and could find spots to be alone. Beautiful views of Seattle.

Jeff N. • November 15, 2011Take a blanket and a light lunch and enjoy the view on a nice day.

Larissa V. • October 22, 2017Good place for a run in all weather.

Jason E. • July 1, 2013Love the new spray park. We went on opening weekend so it was kind of a madhouse. But our 2.5 year old had a great time. Shade is in short supply, so consider a pop-up shelter or umbrella.

James W. • November 12, 2013The metal constellation maps inlaid in the Beach Drive sidewalk on this stunning waterfront park represent the season and spot where you can best view each respective constellation.

Kristin B. • February 26, 2012Breathe deeply...the beach is healing... :-)

Andrew C. • July 10, 2017I assume the town grew up around Camp Long. Otherwise it's weird that a campsite is right in the city.

Dest S. • February 22, 2014This park is basically a forest with trails. Great for dog walking and communing with nature.

Mary S. • January 18, 2016You can see the whole city by night here

Child M. • June 18, 2012Peaceful place. Check the ducks on the side of the park.

Adam C. • August 30, 2013Cool piece of history. Make time to stop and learn.

James W. • November 12, 2013If you are able to take your eyes off the gorgeous views of the Sound and Olympic Mountains, you may see actual cormorants or even sea otters around this area.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency • June 27, 2012Check out this historical Documerica photo of industrial plans on the Duwamish Waterway. Take a photo of the area today and share it with our State of the Environment Photo Project.

Mayor Matthew W. • October 26, 2013Arrive between naptimes to maximize children and parents. Friends for kids. Friends for parents. Splendid.

Bobby P. • July 22, 2011Ride the Boat!

Mary S. • January 18, 2016See Seattle by night!

Wendy H. • November 8, 2011The trail around the pond is exactly one quarter mile. There are benches, picnic tables, trash/recycle receptacles and doggy bags. A nice view of the city, too.
