Awesome beach spot! The views from the beach are beautiful and it’s a great place for swimming! We went near high tide so the beach was about 10 feet wide but it would be much larger at high tide. It has a nice gravel that is not too big and not too small. There is a sign that says this is a private beach, but it is right next to a boardwalk and a road so it’s not necessarily private and besides the sign there isn’t much to keep people from walking onto the beach. No one was on it while we were there though.

Lori was so sweet she left out water and a towel for the dogs. We will def be back soon to let our dogs run the yard.

My pup had a great time at this sniffspot! He is a small dog and a well known escape artist so there were a few spots where the ground was uneven that he could have squeezed under. I made due with what was around us and was able to block those spots while I was there. Water was available as well as a few different types of toys. There's a hill that i'm sure bigger pups would love to run and jump off of. Upper area did have a bit of old dog poop that others hadn't picked up. Not a big deal! Still had a great time.

We had a great time coming to play at this Sniffspot! The yard was suprisingly big, which was great for a game of fetch. It would be perfect for letting a couple big dogs run around together. There was tall fencing all around the yard, you’re able to see through to the other yards but there were no other dogs present. The one thing to be aware of with the fencing is that there are gaps large enough for a small dog to fit through, my little guy is 10 pounds and he could have easily crawled under parts of the fence had he wanted to. The entrance was easy to find, and the host was kind enough to provide balls to use! The neighborhood was calm and we didn’t hear a single dog bark during our stay. Trash is located right outside the gate and the host allows you to dispose of poop bags. The yard was clean, and it was a beautiful open space.

We have been to 4 Sniffspot’s and this is our favorite! Lots of room to roam, play ball, and hunt for moles or whatever was under the ground.

Nice spot, friendly hosts, good selection of toys. Annie will always lose her mind when she sees a Chuckit, so that was our entire set of activities for this visit. About 45 minutes into our visit, neighbor dogs rushed the chain-link fence to bark at my pup, but she was tuckered out enough to not react. Worth noting if you have a reactive dog. One of the hosts said he was going to be putting up a barrier there to reduce visibility, I'll look forward to that.

Perfect spot!! Fully fence and clean, there are toys and balls available for your dog. The owner also offered some complementary doggy poop bags. Very friendly and the area has a lot for dogs to explore. We will definitely go back.

Amazing host! Awesome location, My pups had so much fun running around and exploring. I appreciate the property being fully fenced with no chance of my little puppers escaping. The hour just flew by, but was definitely enough to wear my pups out. I'm definitely hoping to make this a weekly treat for my pups. Highly recommended.

We had so much fun! Nice host, came out and greeted us. Lots of space to run, play, and sniff. There were neighbor dogs barking but Virgil didn’t mind… plus it was good for reinforcing recall with distractions! There are vines along some spaces but no problem for us as Virgil knows how to navigate around them and there are large grassy areas. There was a chuck it and plenty of balls, chairs for people, and a water bowl. We’ll be back!

What a great place to bring our pups! It was fully fenced and had a lot of playing room for them. I also like the lawn chairs set up for the “hoomans”. Perfect spot to watch our doggos play. Thanks also for the water and toys. We’ll be back!

This spot has lots of room for the dogs to run around. It is easy to get to from I-5. The neighbors have dogs and they were barking when we first got there, but ignored us after some time.

Big yard! Lots of space to run around and vegetation to explore, Cosmo loved running through the blackberry brambles. There were neighbor dogs on two sides of the yard, so be aware if your dog would be distracted or frustrated by this!

Lots of room to sniff and run and my kids liked the tire swing. The nextdoor dogs were pretty loud the whole time (just in case your dog would find that upsetting). Will be back!

This was a great visit. 1 of our dogs can’t go to places with other dogs and he was so happy to be able to run around in a big space.

So much space and lots of interesting sniffs for our two pups! I’m used to them trying to escape or jump over fences, so I always keep a close eye on them, but they did not find any areas to escape through here :) For owners of reactive dogs, just be aware that you can hear the neighbor dogs, but everyone is well-fenced!

Actually had to cancel, not the hosts fault. The host was very polite and I would love to have taken my dog there.

Lots of balls to throw and places for my dog to dig without issue. Conveniently located off freeway, between SeaTac area and Kent.

Great spot with lots of room to run and is completely private with plenty of shaded areas. We will definitely be back!

This is an awesome space. The fencing is very secure. Loki and Lotus really enjoyed themselves. The water bowls were very clean. The property was dog savvy. All the balls, toys, and poop bags were appreciated.
