If driving, park on W Boston, anywhere on the block east of 14th Avenue West. RapidRide D Line runs between Downtown, Ballard and north to Crown Hill, with stops along 15th -- http://kingcounty.gov/depts/transportation/metro/schedules-maps/d-line.aspx.
Northwest Queen Anne is another in the Seattle Stairways Walks. This evening, urban hike catches many stairs with grand western views across the industrial area below and Puget Sound. Busy, nearby 15th Ave W holds various eateries. These evening walks call for headlamps and good conversation.
