Editor's Notes

Green Lake is one of Seattle's most beloved gathering spots, ringed by a 2.8-mile path almost always busy with joggers, skaters, and strollers. The lake is a glacial kettle, scooped out by an ice sheet thousands of years ago.

Recreation area with trails, beach & boathouse, plus tennis courts, baseball fields & indoor pool.
