Discovery Park Loop Trail, Discovery Park Beach and Highlands Loop — Saturday, Jan. 6, 2018

The City of Seattle hosted a series of public meetings to redevelop the area back in June 2017, so the fate of Discovery Park (Fort Lawton) and its historic buildings will be interesting to follow over the coming years.

In the meantime, it's fun to wander around the area and reflect on the Band Barracks, Guard House and Quartermasters Stables and its history.

The old Light House is also fun to visit. It would be great if it was restored and had tours.

It's also a great place to ride your bike! ^_^
