A vibrant, family friendly guide to the unexpected nature found in and around The Emerald City.
Seattle is a city shaped by nature. Perched between Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, it's a place where forests press against skyscrapers, salmon swim through urban waterways, and bald eagles soar over morning commutes. Despite its reputation for tech and coffee culture, Seattle is also home to an astonishing variety of wildlife, from great blue herons stalking the shallows of Lake Washington to harbor seals basking on Elliott Bay's docks, and Wild Seattle is your guide to it all. Equal parts nature guide and trip planner, Wild Seattle unveils the hidden nature in every park and waterway--and even your own neighborhood.
