🌲 Lake Forest Park Loop
Join us as we explore one of North Seattle's most beautiful and underrated neighborhoods. We'll meet at the Starbucks in Lake Forest Park Towne Centre, where we'll gather before promptly beginning our walk at 6:30 p.m. From there, we'll wind through the quiet, tree-lined streets of Lake Forest Park, gradually climbing into Hamlin Park, a beautiful urban forest with peaceful trails beneath a canopy of towering evergreens. After crossing through the park, we'll circle back through the welcoming Briarcrest neighborhood, catching views of Lake Washington as we make our way back to the starting point. Lake Forest Park is known for having some of the most impressive mature trees in the Seattle area, giving the neighborhood a unique character that's unlike almost anywhere else nearby. If you've never explored this part of the city, this is a perfect opportunity to discover a new favorite place while meeting great people along the way.
