Compact, fern‑filled forest with mossy trunks, rolling hills and occasional views toward Puget Sound — a good escape from the city for intimate woodland, understorey details, and quiet wildlife shots. Best visited early morning or late afternoon for soft side light and light shafts; weekdays are very quiet. Trails are short (~<2 miles), unpaved and moderately steep in places. No entry fee; street parking near 14499 3rd Ave NW. Expect damp ground — waterproof shoes and weatherproof gear advised.
