From Mat’s trips
A feel for Greenwood
Greenwood and Phinney Ridge feel oriented toward the people who live nearby. Restaurants, small bars and neighborhood businesses make this a relaxed place to spend time away from downtown tourism.
Yonder Cider is my strongest named stop from these notes. For a longer outing, Carkeek Park adds wooded trails, beach and train views, and space for a family day.
Shape your day
Pair Woodland Park Zoo or Green Lake with a Greenwood meal.
Walk the commercial spine and stop at Yonder Cider or another local venue.
For a longer day, drive to Carkeek Park for trails, beach and train views.
