The Best Day, Or 2, in Seattle, Washington Best Time to Go GO TO ADVENTURE PAGE The Best Day, or 2, in Seattle, Washington Best Time to Go: Summer, July – September Summary: There are a lot of misconceptions about Seattle and Washington being rainy. But in fact, Seattle receives less precipitation than any city east of the Mississippi River. Out of the Top 60 largest cities in the United States, Seattle ranks as the #32nd rainiest city in the country, with about 35-37 inches of precipitation per year on average. New Orleans, the #1 rainiest city in the country, gets around 63 inches of rain per year, almost double Seattle. So where does the misconception come from? Hollywood, 1st and foremost. But the answer lies in Seattle’s Mediterranean climate and 4 distinct seasons. Seattle has extremely dry, mild summers, a very distinct autumn and spring, and a very wet, mild winter. Seattle gets nearly all its annual precipitation in winter, and it rains or drizzles or is overcast nearly every day from November through February. This long period of cloudy skies has given Seattle a bad rap for its weather, but we think Seattle has some of THE BEST WEATHER in the entire country! Visit in the summer for some of the most reliably clear, comfortable, long sunny days you have ever experienced. Our recommendations for a day exploring Seattle: 1. Wake up early, get some Starbucks or Seattle’s Best Coffee, walk or ride down to the Seattle waterfront 2. We highly recommend you start your day out with an Argosy Cruises Harbor Cruise, you will not regret it: Argosy Cruises: https://www.argosycruises.com/ 3. 9:25am Harbor Cruise -Argosy Cruises- Pier 55 on the Seattle Waterfront (done by 10:45am) 4. Cruise location: 1101 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA 98101 5. Locks Cruise – another Argosy Cruise option - takes you around Seattle through the locks and into Lake Union, cool tour if you have the time 6. Explore the waterfront, Waterfront Park – downtown waterfront, Ferris Wheel, Seattle Aquarium, there are thousands of other tourists traps the kids will love 7. Pier 62 & 63, views of Seattle, Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains 8. Pike Place Market -this is a must see!! You come to Seattle and not visit Pike Place Market; we recommend you go here for lunch a. Piroshky is great for on the go lunch, and tasty dessert treats 9. Space Needle and Seattle Center – awesome views of downtown from the top of the Space Needle – a kid favorite 10. If you want to continue exploring Seattle and see some of the city’s parks, below are some of the top spots for great views and outdoor recreation: 11. Kerry Park – Queen Anne Hill -awesome view of downtown, great picture spot 12. Gas Works Park -north side of Lake Union, view of Lake Union and Seattle from north 13. Hamilton Viewpoint Park – West Seattle -view of Seattle from across Elliot Bay 14. Victoria Clipper -Whale Watching (would need extra day for this) GO TO ADVENTURE PAGE 15. Want to drive around and see the city? Take the Lake Washington loop: Drive over Lake Washington on I-90 to Mercer Island, then through Bellevue, then back over Lake WA on Evergreen Floating Bridge for a full tour of Seattle a. Loop Route: https://goo.gl/maps/uiKYzrXFDb72 16. The Museum of Flight Lodging Options: Recommended Hotels: 1. Mediterranean Inn - mediterranean-inn.com - 425 Queen Anne Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109 a. Just north of downtown in Queen Anne, The Med has been our go-to hotel in Seattle. It’s not only super affordable compared to most around here but, it is perfectly located, has included parking right under the hotel (which is rare in Seattle), and it has a rooftop patio with incredible views of Seattle, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains! I never want to leave this hotel. 2. Hampton Inn & Suites Seattle-Downtown - hilton.com - 700 5th Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109 a. We love the location and the balconies! .

  • Comprehensive List of Seattle Parks Bonus Feature for Discovering Seattle Parks: a Local’S Guide by Linnea Westerlind
    COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF SEATTLE PARKS BONUS FEATURE FOR DISCOVERING SEATTLE PARKS: A LOCAL’S GUIDE BY LINNEA WESTERLIND Over the course of writing Discovering Seattle Parks, I visited every park in Seattle. While my guidebook describes the best 100 or so parks in the city (in bold below), this bonus feature lists all the parks in the city that are publicly owned, accessible, and worth a visit. Each park listing includes its address and top features. I skipped parks that are inaccessible (some of the city’s greenspaces have no paths or access points) and ones that are simply not worth a visit (just a square of grass in a median). This compilation also includes the best of the 149 waterfront street ends managed by the Seattle Department of Transportation that have been developed into mini parks. I did not include the more than 80 community P-Patches that are managed by the Department of Neighbor- hoods, although many are worth a visit to check out interesting garden art and peek at (but don’t touch) the garden beds bursting with veggies, herbs, and flowers. For more details, links to maps, and photos of all these parks, visit www.yearofseattleparks.com. Have fun exploring! DOWNTOWN SEATTLE & THE Kobe Terrace. 650 S.

Repository Seattle Municipal Archives Seattle Municipal Archives Office of the City Clerk City of Seattle PO Box 94728 98124-4728 Seattle, WA Telephone: 206-233-7807 Fax: 206-386-9025 [email protected] Access Restrictions Records are open to the public. Languages English Historical Note The Department of Parks and Recreation maintains the City's parks, shorelines, and boulevards; and administers community centers, public golf courses, and other athletic and cultural facilities. Seattle's first park was established in 1884 after David Denny donated land to the City for that purpose. At that time, a three-member park committee, with limited authority, was created to manage the nascent park system. A Board of Parks Commissioners was established in 1890 with control over all public parks and authority to appoint a Parks Superintendent. In 1896, the City Charter created the position of Superintendent of Streets, Sewers and Parks. The Parks Department became a separate entity in 1904. In 1926, a City Charter amendment abolished the position of Superintendent, distributing its responsibilities between the Head Gardener and the Landscape Architect. A 1948 City Charter amendment required the Board of Park Commissioners to appoint a park superintendent to administer the department. In 1967, another City Charter Amendment reconstituted the Board as an advisory body to the Mayor and City Council, changed the agency name to Department of Parks and Recreation, and placed fiscal and operational administration under the superintendent.

  • Parks and Recreation Facilities in the Plan Area
    APPENDIX G Parks and Recreation Facilities in the Plan Area November 2014 Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement This appendix lists and illustrates the parks and recreation facilities in the Plan area based on available geographic information systems (GIS) data. GIS data sources were as follows: • Snohomish County • King County • Pierce County • City of Everett • City of Mountlake Terrace • City of Redmond • City of Lake Forest Park This information was not verified in the field and parks and recreation facility representatives were not contacted to determine ownership or the recreational uses associated with these resources. Over 1,300 parks and recreation facilities were listed in the available GIS database including a wide variety of open space areas, sports fields, trails, and water- oriented facilities. The park or recreation facility ID numbers in Table G-1 correspond to those ID numbers in Figure G-1 and Figure G-2. The fact that a facility is listed in this appendix is not intended to suggest that the facility is subject to Section 4(f) protection. Section 4(f) does not apply to every park or recreation facility so this list is deliberately more extensive than would be a list of resources covered by that statute (which also covers properties other than parks and recreation facilities that are not listed here). The determination of whether a resource is entitled to protection under Section 4(f) involves a number of factors including, but not limited to, the facility’s background and purpose, its significance, and whether it has been reserved for a future transportation facility.
