Best Secret Parks In Seattle

In my interviews it was surprising how often Seattle’s quiet places, the parks, the seascapes and the waterfronts, came up as sources for inspiration. One of the magical things about Seattle is that for a city of its size it has an astounding number of public parks.

Last year Linnea Westerlind decided to go to every park in Seattle and document what she found on yearofseattleparks.com. The result is great local resource for finding parks near you that you didn’t even know about (including a list of secret parks). Every few days she writes up the summary of another park with details on what she found, tagged in a searchable blog: check it out.
