July 11 #41 Seward Park

Today finds us in search of something a little different. We have been to Seward Park a few times, but have never circumnavigated the peninsula, so that is what we are doing today.

This is a nice walk around a unique setting on Lake Washington. This venue is quite remote from our house, so takes some effort to get to. The weather is decent, but not spectacular. There are lots of people here and lots of boats on the lake enjoying a lazy Sunday.

The walk is straight-forward; just a loop around the outer edge of the peninsula. One looks to the right to see water, and to the left to see foliage. I was surprised at the amount of poison oak here. At least it is well marked!

Our first picture is from the north point of the park, looking west into Seattle. You can just see where I-90 goes into the Mt. Baker tunnel at the right edge of the frame.


We continued around, coming on the area where there seem to be some fishing opportunities, not to mention a calm area for boat enthusiasts to laze in the sun.


On the left edge is where Seward Park connects to the mainland.

We finished off the walk by passing the headquarters building. A nice walk, even if there wasn’t a whole lot to talk about.
