Adventure Ideas & Boredom Busters around Western Washington

King County Parks celebrates the park system as being part of "Your Big Backyard" and I love that! Across Western Washington, we have amazing access to parks, playgrounds, farms, hiking areas, swimming, and even wintertime sledding.  

Instead of putting together an unwieldly long list, I tried creating my first custom Google Map with ideas for families to explore.  Some notes:
1. Most of these areas are free, although I included a couple of special destinations with entrance fees, like the Woodland Park Zoo or Northwest Trek.  
2. Places within State Parks will need a Discover Pass and places on National Forest Land will need a Northwest Forest Recreation Pass for parking.  I've noted the pass requirements on the map entries.  Details on how to get a pass is below the map.
3. To maximize the map for a better view, click the 4 corners icon in the upper right corner of the map below:
