Hidden Gems of West Seattle | From Luna Park to Forest Trails

Spend a peaceful afternoon with us exploring West Seattle, one of the most scenic and laid-back neighborhoods in the city. From retro brunch at Luna Park Cafe to a hidden forest hike through Schmitz Preserve Park, we explore both history and nature—plus a few surprises along the way. 🗺️ In This Video: We visit Luna Park Cafe, a nostalgic diner filled with amusement park memorabilia, honoring the former Luna Park amusement park (1907–1913). Check out Luna Park Cafe here: https://www.lunaparkcafe.com/ We take in skyline views from City View Park, where you can hop on the West Seattle Water Taxi for a quick trip across Elliott Bay. Water Taxi Info: https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/... During whale season in the fall, you might even spot orcas out in the bay, along with seals and sea lions sunning themselves or playing near the shoreline. Check out the Whale Trail: https://thewhaletrail.org/sites/alki-... We explore the former Luna Park site near the Alki Beach Pier, now a spot for relaxing and imagining the area's past. Learn more about the original Luna Park amusement park: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_Pa...) We hike through Schmitz Preserve, a lush 53-acre forest that feels worlds away from the city—yet it’s right in the heart of West Seattle. Here's the Seattle.gov page for Schmitz Preserve: https://www.seattle.gov/parks/allpark... 🌿 Whether you're a Seattle local or planning your next visit, I hope this video inspires you to check out some of these fun adventures. 🧭 Chapters: 0:00 Welcome to West Seattle 0:27 Luna Park Cafe (and vegan-friendly brunch!) 1:31 City View Park + Water Taxi 2:23 Love Lock Park & Alki Pier 3:25 Alki Beach walk 4:03 Schmitz Preserve Park hike 5:55 Wrap-up ✨ Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos on authenticity, plant-based living, travel, and life in the Pacific Northwest.
