park : lewis creek

bellevue claims this park, but it's on the border of issaquah : I-90 exit 13 (lakemont).

reasons to go : two great play structures, one for toddlers, one for bigger kids : soccer fields above : a perfect little walk around the marshland with a boardwalk, and more trails to explore beyond that : architecturally impressive visitors center with decent bathrooms, wildlife info and friendly 'park ranger' types manning the desk.

on this visit, i met a friend at the starbucks along the way and picked up everything we needed for a picnic. when some bigger kids came to the playground, we headed to the trail, stopped at the picnic table along the boardwalk, and ate in the sun. a lovely day.
