We will meet the Cedar Park parking area, at 9AM. The parking area is at the north-east part of the Cedar Park elementary school. The parking area is small, but on street parking readily availably in the neighborhood. This should be about a two hour walk.
We will follow the circuit mention in "Seattle Stairway Walks', by Jaramillo. This #4 of the walks listed in the book. We will take the longer of the two possible routes. This involves several stairs of one being 196 and another 91 steps. We will take our time on these. From these, we will walk at length on the Burke-Gillman trail and pass subarian areas to admire the homes. This is a look walk.
Participation in 1 Urban Walk each month is required of GoWalk! participants. Enrollment in a second walk is encouraged.
L3 Urban Walks will be offered in January and will open for registration on Friday, December 1st at 12:00 pm. Register for a second urban walk Friday, December 8.
