Accessible Hikes Near Seattle and Beyond

Everyone deserves access to the Pacific Northwest’s great outdoors—but accessibility has different levels and components. Washington trails include paved, flat gravel, and boardwalk routes, many with broad wilderness views and epic natural settings.

Local disability advocates collect information on accessible hiking trails, including Disabled Hikers and Wheelchair Wandering. Washington State Parks maintains an interactive map of ADA facilities across its network.
