We attended the Grand Opening of Jasper’s Off-Leash Dog Park in Kirkland, WA last weekend. The park was created through the hard work and dedication of KDOG – a group of volunteers and generous park sponsors – and is Kirkland’s first off-leash dog park. The grand opening was somewhat chaotic because there were over 100 people and just as many dogs. Even with that many people there it … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago we took a trip to Bellingham, WA. Before we went, I researched the area for off-leash dog parks. The search appeared to yield a lot of options. As it turns out, the majority of the spaces listed are just regular parks where you can legally walk with your dog off leash though.

Adventure to us doesn’t always have to be big or extreme and there are a lot of places to explore right in our own back yard. Seattleites are lucky to have so many off-leash dog parks to choose from.
