Urban Walk - Seattle Olmsted 70: Section 11

This point to point walk starts just south of the Seattle Ferry Terminal at Pioneer Square Habitat Beach and celebrates public art installations through downtown past Hammering Man to the Pike Place Market and the Olympic Sculpture Garden. Myrtle Edwards Park leads past more sculptures to the Terminal 86 Grain Facility, then passes over the Magnolia Bridge to the Elliott Bay Marina below the Admiral’s House high on the bluff. A concealed path leads to Hidden Beach street end and then to the Magnolia Village Pub.

This urban walk has an additional goal in that as we walk we will be evaluating the conditions of the route. Attention will be given to pedestrian safety issues, changes to businesses and neighborhoods, availability of public restrooms, and any issues with streets or parks. Our observations will be summarized in a brief report and forwarded to the Seattle Urban Walk Committee.

For anyone who is interested, after our walk we’ll meet at the Magnolia Village Pub for lunch.

Meet shortly before 9:00 am with packs on and ready to walk. We will meet at the Pioneer Square Habitat Beach (9910 8^th Ave SW), just south of the Seattle Ferry Dock. There is good metro transit service; refer to transit app for specific routes.
