This Loop Option variant of Seattle Olmsted Circuit will test the written turn-by-turn directions (test walked thus far only by the SeaOlm designer and his wife). The maritime industry shore walk is complemented by marvelous Longfellow Creek and a winding uphill climb to Olmsted's playground archetype, Hiawatha Park. The downhill return looses sidewalk for a short, curvy section before returning to the foot ferry terminal.
Meet at 5:45 pm at the West Seattle Foot Ferry Terminal. Some may wish to take the ferry from Seattle. Plenty of on street parking and a free bus from locations in W Seattle (with connections to downtown).
