About Hiking Near Seattle
Seattle sits at the doorstep of some of the Pacific Northwest's most rewarding hiking terrain, where campgrounds serve as basecamp for trails ranging from gentle riverside walks to steep waterfall climbs. Within 70 to 90 minutes of the city, you'll find campgrounds nestled in old-growth forests, perched on coastal bluffs, and tucked into river valleys where the Cascade foothills begin their rise.
Best Time
Late spring through early fall—May through September—delivers the most reliable hiking weather near Seattle, with July and August offering the driest conditions and longest daylight hours. Summer temperatures typically range from the mid-60s to mid-70s, though coastal campgrounds like Kayak Point Park stay cooler with marine breezes off Port Susan.

Tips & Recommendations
- 1Reserve campsites well in advance for summer weekends at popular spots like Wallace Falls State Park, where the waterfall hike draws heavy traffic and campsites fill quickly.
- 2Bring layered clothing regardless of season—morning fog and coastal winds can make temperatures feel 10-15 degrees cooler than forecasts suggest, especially at shoreline campgrounds like Kayak Point Park.
- 3Waterproof boots with good traction prove essential for waterfall hikes where rocks stay perpetually damp from mist and spray.
- 4The Wallace River trail includes steep, rocky sections that become hazardous when wet, so check recent weather and trail reports before committing to the upper falls.
