We will meet at Husky Stadium light rail station for a loop walk. The plan is to proceed across Montlake Cut towards Washington Park Arboretum via Marsh and Foster Islands. I have scheduled the walk at a lower tide, but we will adjust if Marsh Island path is too soggy. However, please prepare for some mud.

I plan to lead at a 2mph pace, but we will stop for photos or views, this is not a conditioning walk. We will take a 10-minute break at the Arboretum restrooms at the halfway point.

We will meet at the Husky Stadium light rail station at 9:45am for a start time of 10am

Please gather in the courtyard just outside the station. Public transportation is recommended.
