Just adjacent to the Boeing campus in Everett, Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary is a great place for a short nature walk in town or a leg-stretcher after work. In fact, you may completely forget you're near an busy part of town when you're in the heart of the sanctuary.
The small trail network here is made up of trails with a variety of surfaces, including gravel, dirt and boardwalks. The Boardwalk Trail goes right through the sanctuary, allowing intimate views of birds and their habitat, but keep in mind that the boardwalk itself can get very slick in rain or freezing temperatures.
Interpretive signs along the trail tell about the wetlands and wildlife. Look for nests and other habitat; there are even trees downed by beavers in evidence if you look closely. When you need a break, look for one of the several benches that dot the sanctuary.
