By Seattle Mag November 20, 2024
This article originally appeared in the November/December 2024 issue of Seattle magazine.
Known as “Doggy Disneyland,” this 40-acre off-leash dog area draws pet parents from all over the city.

Hot Tip
Bring a frisbee, ball, or another of your dog’s favorite toys, as there’s plenty of space to roam and play. Enjoy a more relaxed, less crowded scene on weekday mornings.
