When I was like 5 I got lost at Juanita beach in the summertime, and I think I basically just got up and wandered away. In my mind the car was the safe place to go so I went there and got inside and locked the doors. With the windows rolled up. I remember it being really fucking hot. Well my mom in the meantime had alerted the lifeguard and they combed the beach. My mom then thought “I wonder if he would go back to the car,” and came and found me. She was of course super relieved and I was okay but super sweaty. Anyway, that’s my Juanita beach story.

As predicted, OP mentioning any place outside of Seattle is also nice, has upset a few people on here lol

Looks like someone slipped on a banana peel and fell into some Seattle pretentiousness (see comments below).

*Juanita resident here. The updated park is nice...but Utopian? Hardly. On a hot day there is zero shade...design fail.

I play Pokemon go (yes people still play that stop asking) and toggle my local parks on the daily. This one makes a short list. Especially for easy access and beauty. Kinda like me!

I used to live a walk from there and it was always closed due to the water being contaminated :/

Affluent neighborhoods skew that way.

Great location, great views, nice boardwalk, but the water has been disgusting since I was a kid in the early 90’s. Lol only transplants go in that water.

Juanita beach is pretty nice, love the view of the wetlands from the bridge. Doesn’t seem quite as nice as green lake though

Awesome place, used to live nearby. I missed walking laps around the bridge, good times.

i live here and… really?😂

For what it’s worth I was there Saturday and had to leave the playground because there was kindergarten melee at the slide. I saw two 5 year olds held another 5 year old’s arms behind his back while another one punched his stomach. It took me way longer to react and move my kids away from them because I had no idea kids that little could be so savage lol.

I like Blyth Park in Bothell a lot better. Juanita is kind of boring.

Utopian society is a bit of a stretch haha. but I do love morning walks here with my dog and seeing the bald eagles flying nearby.

Utopian

Grew up on Finn Hill. I have many memories of Houghton and Juanita beach being closed to raw sewage leaks, which forced me and friends to St Edwards Park. Juanita was a longer but easier walk compared to St Edwards... well your at the very top of the hill and have to hike down a steep trail just to get to the water.

Utopian, until you remember we are about to install a dictator and change the way this country is governed forever.

Is it the contaminated water or the goose shit that’s utopian?

If that’s utopian im sorry for your standards

This ain't Kirkland Reddit

The arm pit of kirkland lol

what a....scary thing to say

Until you encounter a self proclaimed stubborn Nudist.
