It was a nice sunny day on Friday April 13, 2012 so we decided to head to the beach. It was a bit windy so even though we had the windows down in the car, it was cold enough for a sweatshirt since it's so close to the water. I was going to put the link to this park but I'm having a hard time finding it. I think
this is it but the information listed is so vague, so I'm not totally sure. I guess this is a good example of why we are on this mission! If you follow the signs to the Mukilteo Ferry, turn left at the end of the road, then left again to enter the parking lot. There is a very good amount of parking. We love coming to this beach to search for crabs. I know you can find them easily in the summer so we were hoping to spot a few but I guess April is too soon because we didn't see any. The beach is very rocky, after a recent remodel it's easier to walk on but it's definitely not barefoot material. They have a large grassy area, BBQs and fire pits, covered picnic tables, large playground-- including swings, and restrooms. The large grassy area is perfect for flying a kite. I saw dogs there so I am assuming they are allowed but probably only on a leash.

The name of this park is actually Thornton A. Sullivan Park at Silver Lake, but we call it "Silver Lake Park". During the summer of 2011 they hosted "Cinema Under the Stars" where they played movies at dusk for free. Check their website for any updates/info for the upcoming summer.
