Parks & Nature

The lake has a 2.8 mile paved trail loop (outside loop is 3.1 miles) that many Seattleites use to train for marathons, take a stroll with family & friends, or relax on the grass to lay out or have a picnic.

A nice stretch of golden sand, this spot can get crowded on hot Seattle days. People come to have large BBQs, play beach volleyball, have bonfires, and fly kites.

With a beautiful view of the city, you see where Fraiser and Grey's Anatomy get their Seattle skyline silhouette. If you go to the Seattle Center (Space Needle, EMP, Chihuly Garden), stopping by Kerry Park is a must.

Food Scene

Great place to get fish & chips and enjoy a beautiful view on the water. You can go casual and order at the outdoor fish bar and sit on their dock, go formal in their restaurant, or take advantage of their decent priced happy hour. If it's a beautiful day, getting seated for happy hour on the dock can take awhile.

Which is better: In-N-Out, Shake Shack, . . . . or Dick's burgers? Macklemore would say Dick's. I mean he shot a music video on top of one for goodness sake. Seattleites may be biased, and these burgers may be greasy and old fashion, but they get the job done after a night out bar hopping.
