Meet at 10:15 a.m. in front of the Issaquah Trails Center:
110 SE Bush Street
Issaquah, WA
This is the small yellow building that looks like a house at the end of a long parking area. We will walk to the trailhead from there.
Note: for anyone coming from Seattle, there is a Sound Transit 554 bus that can drop you off nearby at 10:03 am:

We will walk to our main trail from the meeting place in Issaquah on a paved city trail and from there to our destination, Poo Poo point, an outcrop off of Tiger Mountain where on a clear day you can sometimes see paragliders launching. We'll stop there for lunch before heading back down the same way. Total mileage should be about 8 for the day.
Please note that the hike starts at our meeting point. We will walk a short urban trail to the main trailhead. Rather than taking the crowded Chirico Trail, we will take the longer and more scenic route up to Poo Poo Point.
