Places to Visit
Bloedel Reserve
Bloedel Reserve is an experiential public garden and forest reserve — a mixed tapestry of woodlands, meadows, and landscaped gardens. With 150 acres and 23 distinct landscapes to explore, it’s a perfect place to lose yourself in nature. A loop of well-maintained bark and gravel trails and paved roads wind through the Reserve. The loop is approximately 2 miles long.
Seattle Aquarium
The region’s premier resource for hands-on marine experiences and conservation education, the Seattle Aquarium offers fun, exciting ways to discover more about the amazing Puget Sound and our world’s one big ocean.
Suquamish Museum
The beautiful Suquamish Museum and Cultural Center are located just up the hill from the Old Man House village site, Suquamish Memorial, and the restored Chief Seattle gravesite. Set in a natural landscape of native plants, the 9,000-square-foot space reflects the traditional Big House architecture of the Coast Salish and houses the tribe's collections of artifacts, photographs, and manuscripts. The public areas offer permanent and temporary exhibition spaces, research space, education rooms plus a museum store.
Things To Do
Get Out on the Water
There’s an old saying among boaty types: “A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money.” But when Pacific Northwest weather is behaving, there’s no better place to be than out on the water, whether you’re in a kayak, a canoe, a sailboat, or even a paddleboard.
Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities to get out on the water while leaving boat maintenance to the experts, no matter what skill level you have in watercraft. Bonus: Most purveyors of boaty experiences also have classes for those who are a little nervous to get on the water.
Whether you’re looking to paddle out among the lily pads near the arboretum on Lake Washington, cruise past Gas Works Park by Lake Union, or get out on the the Puget Sound, here are 13 boat rental options from Sand Point to Seward Park—largely human-powered.
Take a Hike
