Moly MacInnes: Beautiful park with a view of the sound!

Joy Moran: Perfect on a sunny day in Seattle! Take Beach Drive, walk the beach, roller skate, bike, or build a bonfire and sit around with friends. Spud Fish & Chips is the best! Read more.

Brad Howell: Hit the bluff for amazing views and sunsets. Bring a bottle of wine - just remember not to leave the empties!
