We are meeting at Dubsea Coffee, 9910 8th Ave SW, Seattle 98106 shortly before  8:00 am. There is  abundant, free on-street parking and  at the nearby Community Center  . There is  good bus service. The Seattle Olmsted 50 and (newer) 70 promote public transit in the city to reduce our carbon footprint. Each of the 12 sections was designed with public transport, public toilets and treats at both the section junctions and section mid-points.

Those who elect to carpool at High Point, meet on 35th Ave. SW , corner of SW Willow St. by  7:15 am . We will leave cars there  and drive to Dubsea Coffee . 

Seattle Olmsted 70 (June 2024) walks complete the Seattle Olmsted 50 (October 2023) circuit to make a 120 km loop around Seattle Olmsted parks and parkways.   June walks test the accuracy and utility of the seven new Turn by Turn directions before posting the public routes on the Mountaineers website in July.  The seven new sections replicate the format--about 6 miles, 500 to 900 feet elevation gain and rich in natural and cultural features.
We are developing an Olmsted 70 Badge , and walkers completing section 7 , receive credit .
