Situated on a peculiar peninsula, Seward Park provides perhaps one of the greatest contrasts in Seattle: 100+ acres of old growth forest, just minutes from the city center. The event follows a loop that is almost entirely in the forest, so there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy views of the majestic old-growth forest– with graceful Western Red Cedar and towering Douglas Fir– that make Seward Park distinctive. The Friends of Seward Park affectionately dub this the “Magnificent Forest.”
