Top Rated Parks to Visit in Snohomish

"Situated on Magnolia Bluff overlooking Puget Sound, this expansive urban park--the largest in Seattle --offers two miles of beach trails and nine miles of winding footpaths. Ostensibly a bluff-top reserve, Discovery Park protects a remarkable urban wilderness and is a great place for nature-watching. The Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center (check online for current closures), which features art and cultural exhibits, is also located at the park, as is a marine reserve."

"Sprawling over an absolutely huge area is the delightful Discovery Park which occupies the western end of the Magnolia peninsula. Once a massive military zone, it was turned into a park in 1973 with its beautiful beaches, dunes, and meadows now being very popular with locals and tourists alike. The largest public park in the city, it encompasses lots of scenic coastline and pristine forests and is a great place to spot some local wildlife."

"It encompasses 534 acres on a peninsula extending from the Magnolia neighborhood, northwest of downtown. Several trails extend throughout its varied landscapes, and it's also home to a magnificent sandy shoreline overlooking Puget Sound, including the iconic West Point Lighthouse. The varying landscapes and sheer size of the park add to the feeling of escape."

"Gas Works Park is located on what used to be the Seattle Gas Light Company gasification plant and still contains some leftover pieces of the industrial site. This park is iconic due to its unique appearance in the movie ‘10-things I hate about you’ and is especially of interest for the ones interested in exploring a dilapidated industrial site. This 19-acre park is unique and stands along with a mesmerizing view of Seattle City along the north end of Lake Union."

"After dinner head over to Fremont to Gas Works Park. Find a spot on the grassy hill to watch the boats on Lake Union or the seaplanes taking off and landing on the lake. Here you will also have a great view of the city skyline. If it’s a beautiful day you may catch a nice sunset over the city."

"With a stunning Lake Washington, Madison Park North Beach is a 400-feet beach housed in Madison Park. The park slopes down from the sidewalk to a few miles towards the beach, which features a bathhouse with restrooms, play areas for the kids with swings/play equipment, tennis courts, and more. Swimming and boat launches, however, are prohibited at the beach due to a rock seawall along the shoreline."

"The light house is beautiful and just beside the dock, many people hang out there. The playground offers a great place for grandkids to work off excess energy. Nice park, lots of parking, close to the ferry terminal as well as the train platform."

"A curious collection of 15 communist busts and statues, mostly Lenins – including Kazakhstan's tallest Lenin! – stands in a small park behind Hotel Semey. Spot the three Kirovs and one Karl Marx lurking among the Lenins."

"To the north of downtown Seattle is the neighbourhood of Ballard, home to Sunset Park. Placed above the busy bay it’s a wonderful spot to watch the sailboats and ships glide on by. As you can tell by the name the sunset views are the real appeal of this hidden Seattle gem."

"Living in Mukilteo for over 20 years there really aren't a ton of Restaurants. This one is by far one of the best in the City. Great atmosphere, gre..."

"Beautiful walking path and views of the sound, with the islands so close. Lots of room to walk, especially during low tide. Great for the kiddos to explore/flip rocks and find crabs."

"One of Seattle's best rooftop bars, RB features 10 taps pouring a rotating selection seriously good brews, including five IPAs, a creamsicle pale ale, and an impressive variety of other styles, all of which taste just a little better each time you catch a glimpse of Salmon Bay and the Fremont Cut between the buildings across the way.How to order: A limited number of cans and bottles are available via curbside pickup or local delivery."

"Second only to their beer, the impressive rooftop beer garden is a highlight of this microbrewery, hence their name!. Along with ten beers on tap, Rooftop Brewing has cider on tap and free popcorn. Their Makeda Coffee Porter is nearly iconic with its smoky notes and chocolate malt flavor, so it definitely a must-try."

"Rooftop Brewing Company is located in Queen Anne and overlooks Salmon Bay and the Fremont Cut. This rooftop patio offers a variety of craft beers and picnic tables perfect to enjoy with friends. You can bring your own food or check their website for the food truck schedule."
