    fantastic park just minutes drive from Downtown Seattle. This park has everything to enjoy by families or just by yourself to have some quite time. its located on Mercer Island on the shore of Lake Washington. Lots of parking, easy to get to and tons of trails, play structures, piers and lots to do. Great spot for photos and just quite time among nature. some of the trails do get wet so bring proper footwear or a rag to clean off your shoes.

    Beautiful store, tastefully arranged. Good variety of antiques and art, some ancient and some contemporary at various price points. If you don't see it, ask! They have a lot of inventory. Lovely people.

    This park is very small, but lovely. The view over the lake is very beautiful, and the beach itself is pretty. There's a little parking, an overlook, a playground, and a beach.

    This is a beautiful, metropolitan park that’s great for walking dogs and escaping the craziness of daily life. Developed in the center of the island, it has the sense of being multiple parks. Depending on your preference there are portions set aside for off-leash and leashed only, as well as trail riding for horses.

    The caretakers of this park are working hard to allow nature to work her magic here, so there are beautiful trillions in the Spring and numerous varieties of trees that have been allowed to life-cycle naturally.

    Because the park sits between two major north/south roads, the best way to maintain a sense of nature is to stick to the middle of the parks. The Ravine trail is especially beautiful, though I suspect it could get a little hairy if there was a surplus of Northwest rain.

    Some lovely chocolate! My only complaint is that some of the truffles aren't as pronounced in flavor as I might like, but that's a minor thing compared to the niceness of the chocolate. If you're in the area, stop by!
