I know that one of you Puget Sound folks would have some suggestions. hollyqueen and I want to go for a bit of a picnic and nature hike this weekend. Where would you go to get out of the city and enjoy a bit of greenery and wildlife?

I have a great book called Winter Walks and Hikes in the Puget Sound. If you were closer in, I'd try to get it to you today, but things are busy, sorry. :)

Lake Sammamish, maybe? Or the old seminary near Kenmore/Kirkland?

Ooh! Interesting title. The King County library has some copies in the Bellevue branch. I'm going to head over after work and check one out. It looks like Harvey is quite the prolific hiking writer.

Ooh! Old seminary. That sounds interesting.

Saint Edward State Park (http://www.parks.wa.gov/parkpage.asp?selectedpark=Saint%20Edward&pageno=1) is the old seminary. The building itself is used for various stuff now, but it's surrounded by miles of old-growth nature trails and undeveloped lakeshore.
