Best Spring Hikes in the Seattle Area for Kids and Families

In the late winter and early spring, my kids and I go a little stir-crazy. We long to go hiking, but the weather is still drippy and our favorite hiking trails in the mountains are snow-laden. It’s time to get creative and explore trails closer to home.

We especially like places that offer indoor nature centers where we can duck out of the rain and keep learning and exploring. Most all of the visitor centers and indoor facilities mentioned have reopened, but double-check open status and hours before you go, if you want to know for sure.
