Seattle Chill Spot | Lakeside Sun + Picnic + Sailboats

📍 Kirkland Marina Park 🌿 Highlights to check out: 📌 Watersports are super chill You can rent kayaks or paddleboards right on-site ($20/hr). The water is calm and steady, so even first-timers can enjoy without worry. 📌 Picnic on the grass + sunbathing bliss Even if you're not paddling, it's so much fun! We grabbed coffee and some pastries, spread out a picnic blanket, and ate under just the right amount of sunshine. 📌 The sunset is truly romantic If you stay until evening, the lake turns golden as the sun sets, and you might spot small boats drifting slowly in the distance. Sitting on a bench at the dock, watching the lights slowly turn on — the vibe speaks for itself 🧡. 🛍 You can also explore nearby: 🛒 Walk to downtown Kirkland for coffee shops, secondhand bookstores, and boutique stores. 🚗 A 10-minute drive takes you to Juanita Beach, which has a bigger sandy area and is even better for photos! 🌿 For a more artsy route, swing by Bellevue Botanical Garden to see flowers and greenery, or visit MoPOP (Museum of Pop Culture) for a cool photo op. 📌 Useful Tips: ✅ The park is open all day with no admission fee. ✅ Bring ID if you plan to rent watercraft — and it’s best to go early. ✅ There’s a fast-food spot in the park (fried chicken 🍗 + soda 🥤). Grab a window seat to enjoy the view while you eat — total value for money! #Seattle#travelguide#Seattlelife#Seattleweekend#Seattletravel
