Description
Covering 534 acres on Magnolia bluff, Seattle's largest public park sits on the former grounds of Fort Lawton. An extensive walking trail network cuts through open meadows, connects to the historic West Point Lighthouse, and reaches two miles of protected shoreline. The setting pairs dramatic sea-to-mountain views with a remarkably peaceful environment for bird watching and wildlife viewing right within city limits.
