The Mountain is out at Seward Park
Springtime arrived early in Seattle last week and to celebrate the 60-degree weather we went to Seward Park, one of the most beautiful parks in the city.
Mount Rainier was on display or, the mountain was out, as we locals like to say.
The sky was blue, though streaked with clouds
providing a beautiful backdrop to silver trees
and madronas.
The 277 acre park on the Bailey Peninsula contains some of the oldest trees in the city of Seattle. The forested interior has trails of its own
but we opted to take the 2 .5 mile paved loop around its perimeter,
enjoying views of Lake Washington, the Seattle skyline,
and the Olympic Mountains.
Many others were out enjoying the weather, including the friendly wildlife.
Today is still sunny and the sky cloudless and blue. We’ll take this wonderful foretaste of spring as long as it lasts.

“The mountain is out,” I love that, Susanne! Gorgeous landscapes and a bonus sunny day for most of our fair state! Enjoy!
Hi Terri! Yes, that’s a real thing over here, since we have many overcast and rainy days on this side of the state! So it’s always a great day when the mountain is out! 🙂
Beautiful photos, Susanne! I’ve never been in that part of the country. ❤️😊
Thanks, John. The Pacific NW is fully of natural beauty and especially Washington State in my humble opinion!
I see that, you live in a very beautiful part of America!! 🇺🇸
We are joining you in the beautiful spring weather! Nonetheless, we have snow in the forecast a few days from new. It’s all about living in the moment, which you seem you have down pat!
Yes to living in the moment! We’ll likely have rain this week and temps in the fifties, not great, but I think our winter is over.
I can see why you like that park. Great views.
One of the best in Seattle.
A lovely park in beautiful pre-spring weather! Amd wonderful to see the mountain 😀
Yes! Always a good day when the mountain is out!

A wonderful springy winter mood!
Wonderful scenery, and beautiful photos of it too. Thanks for taking us there, Susanne.
Best wishes, Pete.
