Beautiful Day in Lake Forest Park, WA – A Nice Break For The Winter….
Walking along the Burke-Gilman Trail is always a delight, but I especially like it when the Eagles are out! Today we saw three – one immature eagle without his signature white head and then two adults fishing. The photo is of one of the adults we saw and captured with my phone while on a walk this AM.
Let me know if you want to see any Lake Forest Park homes at all – I am happy to help. Tomorrow promises to be another great day and a good one for capturing views of Lake Washington.

Snapdoodle Toys is just a bit down the road from the Lake Forest Park Towne Centre…………………..

Snapdoodle Toys is one of those perfect little mom and pop stores that really reaches out and stays in touch with the community. This is no common toy store. If you have never been to Snapdoodle, you might be a little overwhelmed when you first walk in. As you walk through the door, you cross into truly another world. The toys here are educational, thoughtful, and come from all over the world. You will not find Barbie here, but will instead find some of the most fascinating toys I have personally ever seen.
Snapdoodle Toys offers a wide variety of fun for infants and up. My son is 3 and is addicted, but my 10 year old also begs to go here. They revel in all that this store has to offer from the Playmobile sets to magnetic building kits and one of our favorites – the marble tracks. My son loves his Bruder fire truck with details down to a fire hose you can wind up and a ladder that telescopes.
Worried about unsafe toys? Don’t be because although the US hads been behind the times on safety standards fro our children’s toys, Snapdoodle has only stocked toys that were safe according to European Toy Standards. When the US finally caught up and put into place standards in February of this year, there was no need for Snapdoodle to change its inventory, because they thoughtfully have been on board with safety standards since inception.
Snapdoodle Toys is more than a toy store – it is a place for the community to have fun. Snapdoodle offers art classes, family game nights, birthday parties, and other fun events. I just got my e-newsletter and wanted to share Snapdoodle’s latest art class schedule.

Lake Forest Park’s segment of the Seattle Burke-Gilman Trail seems to always be in the news - speed
limits, radar guns, salmon considerations, right of ways, etc….
The Burke-Gilman Trail is part of Seattle’s larger Urban Trails System and a beautiful segment of it happens to travel along Lake Washington right through Lake Forest Park.
The Burke-Gilman Trail travels all the way from North Beach in Ballard to Kenmore with only one small missing link around the Locks in Ballard. It is part of the Cheshiahud Loop (Lake Union Loop) as well. Many people like to commute via bike on the trail and the Lake Forest Park segment is quite nice because of the abundance of trees. Here is a great map of the Burke-Gilman Trail: http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/burkegilmantrailmaps.htm
