There are so many parks in Seattle neighborhoods and suburbs, really, that it is hard to choose just one to celebrate any gorgeous day.
The history of the Seattle Park System is fascinating! Reading about it, one will quickly realize just how lucky we are to have so many prime pieces of land available to the public. In the late ninteenth century, the city was very quick to scoop up prime pieces of private land even despite controversy. Woodland Park for instance was purchased right around 1900 from the estate of Guy Phinney who has used it as some kind of fanciful outdoor adventure park - a Disneyland of sorts for that time because it was so far out of town!
Many people think of Woodland Park as a zoo, but did you know that it is over 90 acres???? This is a great asset to our city and we are so lucky to have it! Even if you don't want to go to the zoo, check out the rest of the park sometime!
While you are at it, check out the other parks in the Seattle park system - The Olmsted Brothers had a large hand in making sure that there would be a park system going forward. Look at what they did to Green Lake when people had built all the way down to the shore before there was a chance to put a park in!

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.
