No, not really. There's a really fun one right in Seattle called
Piling's Pond. It's on NE 90th St. just west of Wallingford Ave NE,
right beside the Indian Heritage School. The pond has many 'native'
species for us, plus some other fun ones to look at : Common Eider,
Smew, Mandarin Duck. You can view the birds from the sidewalk.
