When is the best time to go to Matthews Beach?

The best time to go to Matthews Beach is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its finest. During June, July, and August, you can expect warm, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 26°C. This period is great for enjoying the outdoor activities Matthews Beach is known for, such as swimming in Lake Washington, picnicking at Matthews Beach Park, or cycling along the Burke-Gilman Trail. The long daylight hours also allow for extended enjoyment of the natural surroundings. For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) are also good options. While temperatures might be a little cooler, averaging around 15°C to 20°C, the crowds are smaller, and you can still comfortably enjoy the park and lakeside activities.

Top Matthews Beach Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Incredible room with amazing amenities. The shower was top notch, comfortable bed, and water provided for the coffee machine. However, when i checked in, the young lady at the desk never even looked up from her computer to acknowledge me, simply asking for my name and info, I inquired about valet, as the parking is limited in downtown and wanted to keep our vehicle close by and accessible. She said the valet was full and apologized, saying there was parking available at a garage down on the corner for a fee. So we unloaded and I parked the car there. While checking out the next day, the woman at the front desk, much more attentive and receptive than the previous day, mentioned something about our parking package. I told her I was unaware of such a thing. She said yes, that parking was included with our stay, and then I mentioned to her that this was never brought Up to me, and was told valet was full. She said there should’ve been a space reserved for us for the parking package. Instead I had to pay an extra 50$ to park down the block, plus Uber fees so I didn’t have to move my vehicle from the parking garage, which wouldn’t have happened if we were valet parked. She said she would notify her management and someone would contact me, because their standards must be maintained. Nobody ever contacted me. Overall a fine place to stay as long as the staff pays attention to booking details."
