Discovery Park, Seattle

A huge park that offers nice hiking trails. We went on "Discovery Park and Lighthouse Loop Trail"- a two-hour walk through the forest and at the end you reach the sea and the lighthouse. The trail is well marked and easy to walk. The path is mostly flat but at some point there are stairs. Beautiful view of the sea. Near the parking lot of the park there is a nice visitor center with a children's playroom. Highly recommended.

I love this place, so many different trails and beautiful views! I parked at the South parking lot and there were plenty of spaces since I came on a weekday. It's about a 3 mile round trip hike to the lighthouse and back. Most of it is flat and good for beginners, though there's a good amount of stairs through the woods on the South beach trail part - but you get amazing peekaboo water views through the trees! That was my favorite part. There's also a cool beach and lighthouse at the end. I was totally blown away by all the sights. The trails are easily distinguished and there's lots of signage and some benches along the way. I went when it was dry, but I could see the path in the woods getting muddy and slippery after rainfall. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this trail! One of my favorites so far and a great way to relax.
