Confirmed from Isabella Bush Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

If you like cats and can't have one (like me) or just are a cat lover, there is a black cat that lives in the barn that I like to visit when I can. I usually bring a little food and much affection. She is very loving and I met some people that come here to see her too.

Beautiful community farm with maintained walking path, dogs on leash welcome, and lovely foliage. I've loved watching the place change with the seasons.

★★★★★ — Tracy , Sep 2022

Wander in to the neighborhood and there's a network of trails to take you up to Tumwater hill. Trails are wide and clear of hazards but there are some points of incline.

★★★★★ — Lucy , Jan 2024

We live within 1/8 of a mile of the park and have watched it go through some changes and it is now starting to look like a real nice park. the track is nice and clean there's finally an outdoor theater.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
