Whether you're looking for a leisurely walk or a vigorous hike, there are tons of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors year-round. One popular choice is the 2.5-mile stroll along Alki Beach Park, which offers skyline, mountain, and Puget Sound scenery. Nearly 500 different parks are right inside Seattle, but if you go a bit beyond the city's borders, you'll find plenty of evergreen forests and mountains to explore. As for the wintertime, you'll mostly want to stick to exploring Seattle's indoor attractions, such as its museums, shops, and cozy cafes. Just note that in times of heavy snowfall (which is fairly uncommon), many businesses will close down and driving conditions can become unsafe.
