Northwest Seattle Local Expert: Find Things To Do in Northwest Seattle

So pretty in spring...and the fall here, the trail around the lake is about 2.5 miles and it's flat. Perfect for jogging, evening strolls, and picnics. It does get super busy on the weekends though.

This mountain goat stopped and looked at me for a solid two minutes, even after I took the picture. We had a moment. The Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle is really great and inexpensive. ❤🌹🐐#zoo #animals #mountaingoat
