Speaking as someone who has hiked in Washington for over 40 years, I think you've done a great job putting this together. Well done.
-
In August, I will be moving from Florida to the Seattle, WA area for university. Your videos have been an excellent source of information, assisting me in my conceptualization of my time there. Thanks!

Asa 75y.o. native I can say EXCELLENT presentation. Even if I sno-bvird in Philippines, or recently Florida, I vivdly recall the sights and smells of forests, mountains, and sea. I grew up next to Carkeek Park on 7 acres. the things I learned by osmosis as a kid, saved me and my squad in Vietnam several times. Back then the city limits was 85th street. I was a "Free Range" kid. Feel sorry to the kids this era. Really I do. Get Up! Get Out! & GO!!! Before it's gone. I've seen it. Be well Ingat

I will be in Washington in July, so I am preparing for the many things to do in the National Parks and outside of them. This video gives me options of some extra hikes to put on my list.
-
Great List! If they need hikes closer to seattle West Tiger 1,2, and 3 are located close to poo poo point with great views. If they need a workout the Cable Line Trail to West Tiger 3 is good.
-
The neighborhood I grew up in was a 20 minute walk from St. Edwards. Beautiful park, would absolutely recommend. If you go during the summer, weekend, or whenever school students are on break, you can park at Arrowhead Elementary which is right next to the park with direct access to the park's aptly named Arrowhead Trail. No discover pass needed!
-
A lot of great content here - both the hikes and the advise. I'll have to try some of the easier hikes that my knees will allow that I haven't done yet. To add to your list, another great place to hike in Seattle is Carkeek Park - there is a great little trail system there. Also, a couple of nearby waterfall hikes are Twin Falls & Bridal Veil Falls. This area is just chock full of great places to get outside.
-
Can't wait to try some of these! Thanks for the hiking tips too!!
-
Mt Pillchuk is a nice hike too
-
This is super interesting and informative, Kelly! Thank you! :)
-
Thank you for this video. I am planning a solo trip to Washington next year. I have never backpacked so probably won't do that this trip (will wait till I am ready and try it closer to home first). I of course went back and watched your videos. This has helped me and given me lots to research. :) Looking forward to more of your adventures to inspire me.
-
I only had time for a day hike last year and maple pass loop did not disappoint! Iād love to try backpacking next time
-
So great video! Thank you, Kelly!!!
-
This is a great list! Park Butte is hands down my favorite trail - it's a bit of a drive from Seattle but definitely worth it.
-
Great video! Thanks for all the information
-
This was great information and advice! Thank you!
-

i thought i would be using the slider a lot through this 25mins' video but i let it play normal to the very end. what a video clip jampacked with beautful experiences, gorgeous sceneries, practical guidelines, and comprehensive sharings. First time commenting on your channel but i really like experiencing Seattle through your channel and listening to your happy, poised and clear narrations. Keep it up! Watching from Southeast Asia. :)

Looking forward to more hike reviews.
