Last week was a rough one. Saturday came along and it was stormy with wind and rain, reflecting my mood. The rains stopped before the winds did, so I thought I should take the opportunity to get outside and visit a beach on Puget Sound.

Don’t worry, this blog isn’t turning political. But if parks are important to you, you might be curious what the presidential candidates have to say about them. Recently the bipartisan Mayors for Parks Coalition invited the two campaigns to answer their question.

I’ve spent this last spring and summer visiting and previewing locations around Magnolia in Seattle.
Because the Magnolia neighborhood has several great places to visit in relatively close proximity to each other, and because they form a natural driving loop, I thought it might be helpful to publish a suggested tour route. You can look at the individual preview pages for details, including parking info, for each tour stop to help plan your outing.
