White snow capped view of Mount Rainer and Lake Washington from Seattle crossing the lake. Jesse Tam, it's a shore l.5 hour drive from Seattle and great day trip or extend a longer stay and enjoy the park's programs. The mountain is a favorite place to explore and hike during most of the year with summer being the most crowded time of year. Early spring and fall are the best times for those who prefer fewer crowds to enjoy the trails and views around visitor center at Paradise. https://jesse-tam.blogspot.com/

Focus is the Key
Here's a good thought for today. Hard work is never easy, but things can get done with one small step at a time. Keep the pace and focus with an open mind.
The key to success is to focus on goals, not obstacles. It may seems like a long road to travel, but reaching your destination and goal will be worth the effort. Regardless of the pace,, continue to move forward and don't turn back. https://jessetam.wordpress.com/

Here''s to a Positve Week
Here's to a new week, new start and postive things ahead. Jesse Tam the greater Seattle region has many parks and trails for hiking or bike rides along the Gilman Trial, Seattle's Waterfront, Discovery Park or head across to the east side. There are many easy to difficult hiking spots within an hour drive from the hustle and bustle work schedules. Make sure you take time out for yourself and get some fresh air outdoors. Brisk breaks and walks with quiet time do great wonders for the soul.
There are many tasks which have priortiy daily, but always allow yourself some quiet time and reflect on the day. Stay grounded in your daily life.

Nature's Laughter
The waterfall is nature's laughter. There is no better place to listen to the raging sound of Snoqualmie Falls. Jesse Tam, only a short drive from Seattle is a favorite place to bring visitors to experience the beauty of nature's waterfall. During heavy rainfall, you'll be able to feel the mists as you walk along the pather and walkway surrounding the falls. Make an afternoon outing with a packed lunch and hike down to the lower falls along the trail and walk along the boardwalk to river below. It's a trip that you can make year round and with all age groups.
Planning a trip on weekdays will be less crowded and fewer visitors. Summer is always a busy time as we try to get out and enjoy the great weather. Parking is limited and more difficult during the weekends, plan your visit and walk further to reach the waterfall. It's a great drive to get out of the city and escape to the mountains and outdoors.

Today Is Your Day
How have you been spending you days recently? Jesse Tam, many of us are trying to get the most outdoors while the short warm weather and sunny days are here. The weather in the pacific northwest is great for farmer's markets, bike riding along the trails, hikes to the nearby national parks and local trails within a short drive. So let's take advantage of the season before the cloudy skies appear and rain returns.
Get moving and do something close to your neighbor or local park and take a stroll and explore your surroundings. It's a time to enjoy the nice weather or find a hobby.
Today is Your day! Your mountain is waiting. so...
Get on your way!

Thinking About A Visit to Seattle?
Spend the weekend with a pre or post day to explore the waterfront, Pike Place market, International District or tour Boeing. There are things for the whole family with parks, ride the Big Wheel on the waterfront, walk or bike along Alki Beach. There are more activities for those interested in the arts and musical performances.
The light rail link from the airport will take you to downtown Seattle and a quick ride to the University district and University of Washington. Rent a canoe at the boathouse for a few hours when the weather permits and see Lake Washington. Jesse spend time to explore the outdoors.
