Lake Washington

Situated between Seattle and Bellevue, Lake Washington is the state’s second largest lake and the site of numerous Seattle-based activities, from the SeaFair hydroplane races every August to dinner cruises year-round from Argosy Cruises.

Seward Park at the south end of the lake features a perimeter path for bicycles and pedestrians that follows the waterfront with sweeping views of the lake, as well as several swimming spots and kayak launches.
