10+ In-City Forest Walks for Seattle and Eastside Families

Fall has arrived and winter is coming. This means our days are getting shorter and mountain hiking trails will soon be snowed in and inaccessible. But that doesn’t mean the hiking has to stop! We are lucky in the Seattle area to have many options for getting our forest fix — without a lengthy drive or day-long outing. From old-growth trees to streams and wetlands to workout-worthy hill climbs, you’re sure to find the perfect trail in the woods for your family to explore — right in town.
