The 534-acre Discovery Park offers one of the best waterfront walks in any US city. With great views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, as well as the Puget Sound, the trails out to the point at Discovery Park are well-maintained and peppered on the way down (and back up, bring your walking shoes and stamina) to the driftwood-laden waterline that takes you out to the point proper. The park is open daily from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m.
