with Go Northwest!
Plentiful views of
water and snow-capped mountains are a continual reminder of the possibilities for outdoor
recreation. The city area has more than 190 miles of waterfront, so there is a good chance that
water-sports or fishing are to be found at your doorstep. You can go boating without even
leaving the city.
If you are looking for a
nice local drive, the western border of Lake Washington runs through some of Seattle's
prettiest areas. Only 45 minutes away are the Cascade
Mountains, a wonderful alpine
environment for hiking, climbing, biking and skiing, as dependent upon the
season.
