★★★★☆

While staying in Issaquah, Washington, we squeezed in a hike in the morning to stretch our legs and give Markus a bit of exercise. Our hotel was located 5 minutes from the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park where we had a soggy, but fulfilling hike!

On this trip, we had some business in Seattle, but after that was done, we took some time out to visit the islands near Seattle along the west side of the state of Washington.
