South Forest Park offers forested hills and mountain views
Best known for the expansive woodlands of its namesake park, South Forest Park offers a natural retreat from urban life.

From higher elevations, blue mountain vistas peek through the evergreen canopy. “South Forest Park is a hidden gem with a view,” says Becky Sommers, Broker at Kelly Right RE of Seattle.
