Our walk tests a shorter version of Section 7, Seattle Olmsted 70.  We count on walkers to help us prove or improve this new, loop route. We twice walk through Olmstsed designated city parks and pass by the Seattle Police Department Mounted Unit -- horse barn and exercise area. Last times through on the regular routs we spotted a hill top play area.  This time we check it out on our return.
