Surrounded by the Puget Sound and sandwiched between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Seattle is rich with access to the outdoors — both within the city limits and beyond. Plus, the city’s mild coastal climate makes it easy to enjoy outdoor adventures year-round.
Get a quick nature fix without leaving the city at one of more than 400 green spaces tucked among downtown skyscrapers and coffee shops. Or venture a short distance outside Seattle to explore three national parks, multiple state parks, and ample national forest acreage.
Where to start? This video offers a look at some of the best places to enjoy the outdoors in and around the city. Plus, get recommendations for the gear you’ll need to keep the fun going, no matter the weather.
