Taylor Creek & Trail — Attraction in Seattle

UPDATE: 7/18/2022 The parks service under the direction of our current rep are pushing to destroy this path, under the guise of building a 12 foot road to move construction materials through.

Just be mindful that the entire trail, just like the city it's in, isn't...

This is a very nice trail deep in the woods with a great sense of peace and nature. I visited during an early morning and really enjoyed it.There are a few not-so-steep stairs and a couple of wooden bridges so it's a pretty moderate short hike.

My only complaint is that there are a few intersections but the trails are not well marked so you may get into a dead end. The park isn't that big anyway so it just means you need to turn back and choose another path. If you want to do the little loop as you see on Google Maps, the intersection with lots of short tree trunks is where you...
