Location: North Seattle/Lake City Address: 31st Ave. N.E. and Lake City Way Acreage: 0.01 This tiny triangle at the corner of 31st Ave. N.E. and Lake City Way is easily missed.

Virgil Flaim Park
Location: North Seattle/Lake City Address: 2750 N.E. 123rd St. Acreage: 2.8 I couldn’t get enough of the gorgeous trees covered in red, orange and yellow leaves lining a gravel path around this park.

Open Water Park
Location: Downtown Seattle/Magnolia Address: Elliott Bay Marina to Pier 91 Acreage: 14.04 Here’s a fun, “who knew?” The city of Seattle has two parks that are actually in the water, both just offshore in Magnolia.
