Chock-full of things to see and do, Nature in the City: Seattle is an indispensable resource for discovering not only Seattle's best-loved natural sites, but also its wildest and least-known corners, including the surrounding areas of Renton, Vashon, and Bainbridge Islands.

Trips are identified by location, and how long they take to complete, and by a "when to go" suggestion to help readers decide which trip is best for a particular day or season.
