We have discovered Seward Park just a few minutes drive from here and its now a favorite outing with Hana in the mornings. Three miles around this 300 acre park with an excellent coffee and a constantly changing visita is the perfect way to wake up. Starting froma view to the south of My Rainier depending on the weather you get to see Mercer Island, then the I90 floating bridge and Seattle.  Thank goodness people had the foresight back in the early 1900’s to create these beautiful natural spaces – you would never be able to get agreement today to annex such stunning waterfront for public enjoyment. Its one of the few spots left of old growth forest 200-250+ years old. When Seattle was settled the forests here were over 1000  – 2000 years old.
