Lovely bird and wildlife area with waterfront trails on the UW campus. Park on street near UW Center for urban horticulture and follow trail that starts behind the bldg toward the stadiums. There is also another nice walk into the wetland at the far end of the parking lot. I think called Yesler Swamp.
