I wasn't really outdoorsy growing up.
Have you used the seattle trails app?
no. I didn't know it existed
Yea. it's hosted by the Parks & Rec department but looks like volunteers built and contribute to it. Should have good info on local trails and openings/closures
wow. I have to look into that. We can find some new rails
Are you interested in identifying and categorizing things? you could take a book like "Pacific Northwest Insects" on a hike and try to identify the bugs that are annoying you
I tried to google a bug once and all the pictures scared me. I dropped my phone and broke it
Oh no! thats a bad level fear. I've read that even scientists that study bugs get scared/grossed out sometimes. Its like our bodies are designed to fear them.
I hate them. I will hike, but I won't go camping.
Thats understandable. Especially because seattle is coastal. If you camp at higher altitudes you would have way less bugs.
