We'll meet shortly before 6pm Tuesday, April 18, in the parking area of Cedar Park at
Cedar Park is in a quiet Lake City neighborhood but close to some up and down stairs that take you to/from the Burke-Gilman trail and Lake Washington. Unlike the older part of the city where stairways led to street trolley line, paved and other pathways became the norm in the automobile era. We'll ponder the impact of population growth (not just girth) on the prospects for a surge in stair-building in our fair city.
