Seattle Parks and Outdoors Travel Tips

  • Within three hours' drive of the Seattle metro area you can be walking near glaciers, on beaches, through old-growth forests, and along ridge lines between knifelike peaks still sporting snow deep into August.
  • Saltwater-fishing opportunities exist year-round in Seattle, though during certain times of year salmon must be released, usually around May and June. During those times, fish for lingcod, cabezon, and flounder.
  • The REI flagship store in Seattle is home to the Outdoor Recreation Information Center, which is staffed by National Park Service and Forest Service personnel. The store has a wide selection of USGS topo maps and Green Trails maps for sale.
