I always heard people taking about it, but never went to explore Japanese Gulch even though I grew up in Mukilteo and work nearby. Nowadays we're looking for close dog-friendly hikes. This was certainly a good one, though I expect it'll get muddy once the rain starts.
We parked at the big, empty Japanese Gulch South Trailhead. The lot is shared with a community garden. There's a port-o-potty available, too. We hiked north through the forest and ended up at the Japanese Gulch Tails and Trail off-leash dog park. Parts of the trail were narrow, but totally manageable. It was a peaceful hike with nothing too exciting. I think Toby would beg to differ, though. He enjoyed walking through the stream and letting loose at the dog park.
