North End Hikes and Walks with Dogs – Saturday Morning Walk/Hike – Seward Park, Seattle

Welcome to spring season. Rain happens, but i try not to let it stop us. High winds or torrential rain, however, will cause me to cancel completely or change what we do. Please check in the morning of the event to see what is happening. Arm yourself for seasonal weather swings. Please keep your RSVP up to date – even if you are on the waiting list.

Within the Seattle city limits, Seward Park boasts 300 acres of beautiful forest land, home to eagles’ nests, old growth forest, a 2.4 mile bike and walking path, an amphitheater, a native plant garden, an art studio, miles of hiking trails, shoreline, beaches and more.
There is also a forest path that runs through the center of the park.
Maybe the cherry blossoms will be out.
