First hike in Seattle

For the past month, we've been busy setting up our new lives here in Seattle: going to the DMV, buying furniture, unpacking boxes, and making multiple trips to Ikea and Home Depot. This weekend, we finally felt like we could relax a little and start to explore our new surroundings. Matt picked a 4 mile hike on Cougar Mountain, one of the local county parks just outside the city. After hard rains for the past couple of days, the trail was muddy and mossy.  It reminded us of the redwood forests in California before the drought hit. We trekked through fields of ferns, over mossy logs, and dodged big slugs on the trail.
