Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
Welcome to the beach! Nice river water for dogs to drink too.

The south trail entrance has been fixed! This means you can enter from 16th Ave NW at the south or 15th Ave NW from the north. The trail from the north is still much nicer though- a good ramble through the woods with views, while going in from the south entrance is just a very steep slope down to the train tracks. Trail maintenance has also been happening so the overall trail is in great shape.

As always, the point of this trail is to get down to the beach when there is a good low tide. You need to go over the train tracks, but it's easy and everyone does it. Probably the best beach to take your dog to in the Seattle area. Mine is currently passed out with his tongue out, so mission accomplished.
