Green Lake is the white moonlight in my heart! Especially during the transition from autumn to winter, the fallen leaves are so beautifully scattered that they intoxicate you 🍂 Strolling along the lakeside trail at 7201 East Green Lake Dr N, the misty beauty on rainy days is even more enchanting. The lake reflects the golden ginkgo trees on both sides, and occasionally waterfowl fly by, as if stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. I recommend coming around 4 PM when the light is perfect for photos. On sunny days, you can capture stunning lake views, and rainy days have their own unique charm~ Little tips: 1⃣️ It’s windy by the lake, so remember to bring a jacket; Seattle’s autumn and winter weather is unpredictable. 2⃣️ The trail is about 5 kilometers long, so wear comfortable shoes and take your time. 3⃣️ You can bring some bread to feed the ducks in the lake (but don’t feed them too much). 4⃣️ Nearby, there’s a Mighty-O Donuts shop with delicious vegan donuts! My favorite thing is sitting on a bench by the lake watching the sunset, seeing the evening glow dye the entire lake orange-red ✨ But be aware, the park closes at 11:30 PM, so be cautious if you’re out at night~
