When visiting the Arboretum, you can see the Japanese Gardens or you may be lucky enough to catch the cherry blossoms in full bloom, but in any season the waterfront trail is a very unique, very Seattle experience. This three mile loop, begins with a dirt/bark trail, leading to a wooden floating walkway, and heading back to the parking lot is a grassy field, you can explore Marsh and Foster Islands which for some reason feel adventurous. Plan for an hour and a half to enjoy the whole route.
