Seattle View Trail
Issaquah Alps
updated 1 month ago
The Seattle View Trail currently features significant overgrowth, described as brushy and head-high in places, particularly through a dense meadow of foxgloves that is still in bloom as of June 30. Hikers may encounter a couple of downed trees across the path, which are reportedly easy to navigate, and slippery footing is possible due to the overgrowth. Despite the brush, the trail is generally considered easy to follow. Wildflowers, including daisy, foxglove, lupine, and goldenrod, are present, and various berries such as Oregon grape, huckleberries, and trailing blackberries are also noted. Bugs have not been a significant issue, and the road to the trailhead is suitable for all vehicles.
