I’m always going onto Tiger Mountain and doing a hike with my dog,” Batali says. Seattle Paragliding is an extreme sports company that flies from the summit of Poo Poo Point down to the valley below. Additionally, the Squak Mountain State Park Natural Area is about 5 miles northwest with acreage of forests and creeks.
