Once the site of a posh country club with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, Meadowdale Beach Park in Lynnwood is now one of the few publicly accessible Puget Sound beaches in the Greater Seattle area. Accessible, that is, via a sometimes-steep 1.25 mile hike from the parking lot through a forest path. This isn't the place to bring your massive inflatables or your rolling BBQ. Yet the hike isn't so strenuous that you can't bring the little ones. (One note--the parking lot is small and fills up fast, so if you go on weekends, go early.)

Tuesdays are Muppet Days



Thanks for showing the 'wood hood some Seattlest love. If the parking lot to the Meadowdale Beach Park is full there is another nice beach just a few miles to the north at Picnic Point.
