Carkeek Park — Friday, Dec. 12, 2025

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
Carkeek Spit

With all due respect to those who are suffering from the weather, I got out and had a good day.

My WTA hike finder showed me a handful to choose from and this looked the most interesting.

Mid-winter dreariness hung heavy in the ravines. Water gurgles through Pipers Creek. Many people out training their dogs and wet trail-running.

A pileated woodpecker, some harbor seals, Juncos and Chesnut Backed chickadees.

Happy to be out😊
