About

Discovery Park is Seattle’s largest green space with  forests, meadows, and coastal bluff views over Puget Sound.

Why it’s great 

Great exposure to different ecosystems in one walk. Lush forest, tide pools, wildflowers, a lighthouse, mountain views. This place is the total package.

Low commitment & flexible loops. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come here for “a short walk” and end up having such a good time that I end up walking 4+ miles. 

Good to know

Sequoia Social Club hikes this trail on the third Sunday of every month. Join us!
