Seattle is able to amaze anyone with an abundance of its various attractions, stunning ecology, an abundance of modern and historical sites.
Nature lovers should definitely visit Discovery Park. It was founded on the site of a former military training ground in 1973. The vast semi-wild area dotted with winding footpaths offers stunning views of the Olympic Mountains. Discovery is considered the largest green space in Seattle, with an area of 534 acres. Endless meadows, sand dunes, beaches - all this contributes to a calm, peaceful rest among a variety of flora and fauna.
Another scenic park in Seattle is called Green Lake. It is located next to a lake of glacial origin and is a favorite place for jogging and sunbathing among locals. Fitness people, cyclists and tourists meet here all the time.
One of the largest lakes in the city is Union. It unites other water bodies of the city and also has an ancient glacial origin. Many years ago the Native American Duwamish lived here. Today, modern "anthills" have been laid out around the lake, as well as a shipping canal connecting the Union with another freshwater lake in Seattle - Washington.
This place is loved by fans of yachting and other water activities. Also here you can often find seaplanes taking off.
Those who come to Seattle should definitely visit the world famous Woodland Park Zoo. This place is often featured in the TOP 10 of the best zoos in the United States. At the same time, it was Woodland who for the first time in the world began to practice keeping animals without cages, creating conditions for them as close as possible to their natural habitat.
The Olympic Park of Sculptures, which is a unique example of urban planning, is also recommended for visiting. The park was established at the initiative of the management of the Seattle Museum of Art and is under its control. Over 20 unique sculptural compositions are located on the vast territory, which often become the backdrop for memorable photographs. A spacious green area is laid out around the sculptures, which replaced the industrial area of one of the local oil companies.
In addition to sculptures and green spaces, visitors to the park will appreciate the scenic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula.
