I've been watering some of the newly planted trees in the above forest, and keep meeting new people who have recently "discovered" this forest.  They say the same thing:  "We love it, but until recently we did not know it was here."  Do yourself a favor:  find it...  and follow some of its (unmarked) four miles of trails!
Trail runners will find the terrain challenging.  Walkers will discover places where city traffic cannot be heard.  Dogs walking people will want to come back.  Kids will find this open space to be a wild space, much like many of us knew in our youth.  
I look forward to meeting some new friends of this forest at the above "friend-raiser" this Saturday.  YOU would be welcome.  Bring family, friends, those neighbors who like to walk, bird lovers, tree-huggers.  Experience some of the 75-acre canopy of forest just 10 minutes from downtown.  With a future north-end entrance, this could be a recreation destination for south Snohomish residents as well!
