hiking annette lake

[notes: 7.5 mi roundtrip + a bit of a walk around the lake (tho trail doesn't go entirely around lake), not much area to sit around right at the water, camping at lake, some incline on the hike - a comfortable hike overall. a great first hike of the [verylatearrival] of summer in seattle]
