Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions 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."

"Over 100,000 boats travel through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (also known as the Ballard Locks) and its canal every year!. Visitors can watch ships move between the Puget Sound Region and Lakes Union and Washington. Keep your eyes sharp to catch a glimpse of some marine life, like salmon swimming amongst the wooden boats in the summer!"

"From full-service hair styling to aromatherapy and deep tissue massage, this Ballard establishment can meet your every beauty care and health spa need. If planning a Seattle spa day, be sure to check out Habitude’s seven care package options. Habitute at the Locks is two blocks west of AMLI Mark24."

"Thanks to Army Corps of Engineers district chief Hiram Chittenden, boats have had an easy route from Lake Union and Lake Washington to the Puget Sound for nearly 100 years. The Ballard Locks carry more boat traffic than any other lock in the United States."

"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."

"The Washington Park Arboretum has 230 acres of urbane respite in the Madison Park neighborhood near Union Bay. The University of Washington and the city of Seattle co-manage this wonderfully landscaped space with help from the Arboretum Foundation. Several trails wind throughout the park, with interpretive information and plant identification on the trail's edge."

"Hidden on the shores of Lake Washington, the Arboretum has 230 acres packed with trees and plants. Take your bicycle on a ride through the different gardens."

"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."

"Urban hiking at it’s finest - Discovery Park has so much to offer within Seattle propper. With several miles of trails, overlooks and beaches, we often spend our weekday evenings here to get a breath of fresh air. At the Western most tip of the park, there is a beautiful lighthouse which you can hike down to."

"Offering contemporary Korean steakhouse fare in a chic, airy space, Fremont’s Joule is a must-visit for foodies and cocktail connoisseurs alike. Dine on perfectly tender ribeye or fragrant tamarind duck in their charming patio space and you’ll undoubtedly see how they landed one of the coveted spots on Bon Appetite’s Best New Restaurants list. Food writer Jay Friedman says, “Joule and The Whale Wins share a converted warehouse and some sweet outdoor patio space."

Home to James Beard-nominated chefs and celebrated husband and wife cooking team Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi, Joule presents fusion-inspired meat dishes and creative, shareable sides for lunch and dinner.
